Self employed to receive UK average wage with immediate effect
Pay self employed people the UK average wage to help house holds meet financial commitments during the pandemic crisis.
As employed people are already recieving help of up 80% of their wage, persons who are self employed should also receive immediate help as many are left in big trouble financially with rent and other expenses still active. Governments recent plans to help the self employed will still leave people in financial trouble especially with the scheme coming into effect from June. The best was and the fastest is to look at the UK average wage and apply that figure to self employed persons.
