Safe Sick Pay

The current Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) system is woefully insufficient to provide people with economic and health security. The SSP system, which defines the minimum amount of sick pay an employer is allowed to provide to employees, was introduced in 1983 as part of the Social Security and Housing Benefits Act. In the intervening years, SSP has not kept pace with inflation. Since 2010, SSP has not even risen in line with increases in the minimum wage.
