Government to pay Statutory Sick Pay for Small Businesses
We want the Government to cover Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) for small businesses.
As a small business with a few employees - If someone goes off sick long term we are forced to pay them SSP. When this happens I have to take a cut in my own wages (as the business owner) to pay this SSP.
My business only just breaks even as it is, and I don't earn any more than the staff I employ.
