Pay self employed 80% of their average wage during Covid19
Give the self employed the same rights as the employed during Covid19 out break. The employed have been promised 80% of their wages during Covid19, the self employed have been promised statutory sick pay if we are off work during Covid19.
There are a lot of self employed people worried how they are going to live off the Statutory Sick pay during the outbreak. Give us the same 80% promised to the fully employed during the Covid19 outbreak.
