Allow self employed people rights to sickness benefit and paid holidays.
In the spring budget March 2017, National Insurance contributions for self employed people were increased to the level paid by other non-self employed workers. However, there has been no mention of self employed workers receiving equal benefits such as sickness benefits and holidays.
