One in ten women not earning enough for sick pay, TUC finds
STATUTORY sick pay thresholds are disproportionately affecting women, with one in 10 not earning enough to qualify, the TUC revealed today.
Around 1.4 million female employees earn less than £118 a week, which is the qualifying threshold for statutory sick pay, and have no protection if they fall ill, according to the union confederation’s new analysis.
Eligible working people can receive £94.25 per week statutory sick pay from their employer for up to 28 weeks if they’re too unwell to work.
