Make key workers exempt from tax/PAYE on salary during the COVID19 duration.
For the duration of the COVID 19 crisis, those people identified as key workers should receive as close to 100% of their gross pay as possible through the reduction/suspension of tax and PAYE on their salary.
Key workers are being asked to carry on working through this current crisis, risking theirs and their families health with no added reward, whilst those who are forced to stay home with loss of earnings are being subsidised 80% salary to do so.
This seems grossly unfair since key workers taxes are being used during this time to subsidise the salaries of mainly private sector workers.
