1 day agoSick pay rule changes to benefit up to 9.6m UK workers, TUC says
Up to 9.6 million UK workers will benefit from new sick pay rules, providing pay from the first day of illness and expanding eligibility.
"The creation of the FWA marks a step change in the Government's attitude towards employment rights and shows they will take a proactive approach to enforcing them," H-J Dobbie, Head of HR Consultancy at Azets, said. "Many of the areas the FWA will enforce when it launches in April - Statutory Sick Pay, statutory holiday entitlement, and agency worker protections for example - are areas employers should already be complying with, but if they don't, the consequences of not doing so will become more serious from the spring of next year."
