Sick Pay

[biniput]

I have had to self isolate for last week or more and I can't seem to find a proper answer as to the situation regarding sick pay. Anyone here isolated?

[Huxleys Babkins]

Were you isolating because you were sick or isolating because you share a household with someone else that was?

[biniput]

Due to someone else having it.

[Huxleys Babkins]

You're eligible for SSP for any days spend self isolating due to living with a positive person. Some companies may pay full sick pay (if they already provide this), but it's entirely discretionary.

It turns out that your employer can claim fulough money from the government to pay you to self-isolate: https://www.bbc.com/news/business-57515232

...but they are reluctant to publicise it in case it gets used.
