Pay Self-Employed/Freelancers 80% of their median salary during the COVID-19
As employees got warranty of 80% of their wages to be paid during COVID 19 crisis, why self employed are left without any help, with no income since government has closed gyms etc?
We want the same treatment!
Because we pay taxes and national insurance contribution the same like employees and we are neglected by government in this difficult time!
