You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We understand you're concerned to equalise the pay employees receive when they are off work sick with at least the national minimum wage, but we're not sure if you'd like it to be mandatory or just encouraged via a Government scheme.
You might like to sign the following petitions:
Increase Statutory Sick Pay to £330 per week during COVID-19

Increase Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)

You could also start a new petition calling for Statutory Sick Pay to be made equivalent to an employee's contractual hours at least at minimum wage, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
