Increase Statutory Sick Pay payments

Petition Details

Increase Statutory Sick Pay to be inline with the cost of living

Additional Information

I honestly find it insane that the government expects someone to live of £94.25 per week when someone could be earning working 40 hours a week earning £372 inline with the living wage then they could see their wage cut by almost £280 a week!
