Recommendation 1
1
Paragraph: 50
Statutory Sick Pay provides inadequate financial protection during periods of sickness absence.
Conclusion
Statutory Sick Pay does not currently provide adequate protection for those who most need protecting from financial hardship during periods of sickness absence. It consequently fails to perform its primary function of providing a basic level of income protection.
