Brilliant to see Johanna Baxter MP MP ask the Department for Business and Trade Minister about problems with the wording in the Employment Rights Bill that could see 1.3 million employees get less Statutory Sick Pay than they do now. We hope the Government can resolve this tinyurl.com/SSPLEL

Brilliant to meet with Afzal Khan MP MP today and to hear of his support for the #SafeSickPay campaign. Thank you Afzal - we're looking forward to working with you to ensure all employees have the #sickpay they need.

Great to be in Parliament today for a drop-in session! 🙌 Thanks to Baronesses Lister & Ritchie for sponsoring, supportive MPs, Amy MS Society UK & Lauren Young Lives vs Cancer for powerful stories, and all our partners calling together for #SafeSickPay.

Powerful words from Amy MS Society UK at this morning’s Parliamentary drop-in ⬇️ Her heartbreaking story shows why it is so urgent that the UK Government raises the rate of #StatutorySickPay. No one should be forced into work because sick pay is so low. We need #SafeSickPay now

🚨 One third of a million employees - earning between £123- £146 per week, are now at risk of having their sick pay reduced. Hear from Amanda Walters from the #SafeSickPay campaign, with LBC radio, on why the Government must change its wording in the Employment Rights Bill.👂⬇️

A brilliant campaign to be part of and have photographed 📸 at Number 10 Downing Street this morning!

However, it's disappointing to hear confirmation from the Government that some employees will receive a cut to their sick pay. Some of the lowest-income employees will be affected - many key workers that kept us safe during the pandemic.

Chris Law MP Grateful to hear Lorraine Beavers MP MP call on the Government to increase the rate of Statutory #SickPay and make sure all workers are benefitted by the removal of the Lower Earnings Limit. Changes must be made to protect 300,000 workers from cuts to their sick pay.

"If you are on £116 a week, how are you going to pay the bills?" Amanda Walters from #SafeSickPay, spoke to BBC London. She explains why more needs to be done to raise the rate, and protect hundreds of thousands of workers. 📢Have a listen. #ukpolitics #campaigns #sickpay

"Statutory sick pay is the lowest in Europe & the lowest paid have been excluded, meaning they cannot afford to stay home when sick. As we saw during COVID, that endangers public health." Great to hear Baroness O'Grady highlight in House of Lords the need for higher #SickPay!

Thank you Carmen Smith 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 for highlighting the need to address gaps in sick pay alongside improving gender equality. SSP at £3 an hour forces low paid workers - disproportionately women - to work during illness. Raising the rate of sick pay is crucial for building gender parity
