Pay Key Workers 2 weeks full pay if they have to isolate.

Petition Details

The government should cover full paid sick leave for isolation periods that "Key Workers" have to take during the Covid-19 pandemic at companies who do not already provide this benefit. As they are essential to keeping the country running.

Additional Information

Currently only some Key Workers companies provide full sick pay if their employees have to isolate. Some may not be able to survive on the current SSP rates or even 80% salary for 2 weeks and could try and work through their illness risking further spread of the virus. If all Key workers received full pay while having to isolate less would be inclined to ignore the isolation advice.
