We're shortly off for the Christmas break. Before we go, we wanted to share a celebration and reflection from Amy, a brilliant campaigner with our friends at @mssocietyuk and one of our expert by experience board. We'll keep working for a #SafeSickPay system for all.

Ross Barrett, our Policy Manager says:   For those with MS - a debilitating, unpredictable condition – access to flexible working, reasonable adjustments and SSP can be the difference between staying in work and being forced out of employment altogether. mssoc.uk/44yaiP3

An historic day. New rights for millions of workers, and testament to years of union campaigning. More to do working with the government to make sure the secondary legislation is watertight, and to deliver the rest of the Make Work Pay agenda but for now… 👏👏✊🏼✊🏼
Trades Union Congress@The_TUC

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law. This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them. Some of the watershed measures this Bill delivers: ➡️ Banning exploitative zero hours contracts ➡️ Sick pay for all from day one ➡️ Expanding paternity, parental and bereavement leave ➡️ Strengthening protections for pregnant women, whistle-blowers and victims of sexual harassment ➡️ Making flexible working the default ➡️ Repealing Tory anti-union laws Unions and workers have long campaigned for these vital rights. Finally, working people will enjoy more security, better pay and dignity at work thanks to this Bill.

What fantastic news in the run-up to Christmas! The sick pay improvements in the employment bill come a step closer to reality for millions of workers. The next step is Royal Assent - a massive moment to celebrate - well done to the many people working to make this happen! 👏
Kate Dearden MP@Kate_Dearden

I am delighted the Lords have passed the Employment Rights Bill - a historic moment that will make working life fairer, more secure and better for millions of people across the UK.

Dan is on the Safe Sick Pay workers advisory group, and along with our broader coalition, is calling for a #SafeSickPay system that enables workers to recover from illness and return to work safely rather than be forced back to work ill because they can't afford time off.

Dan Berry, one of the brilliant workers campaigning with us on sick pay, made a heartfelt plea today in the @DailyMirror to Peers debating sick pay measures in the Employment Rights Bill. Day one sick pay will bring welcome relief to so many workers; let's get on with the job.

This is a great example of how the living wage - and sick pay, can work together to benefit both businesses and employees alike. Well done Adept 👏👏👏
Living Wage Foundation@LivingWageUK

New research shows providing a real Living Wage and secure hours boosts business turnover 💫 Adept tripled their profitability after introducing fair pay, secure hours and sick pay from day one — and most other accredited employers report similar gains. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

With a winter #flu wave, we're once again reminded of why sick workers should be supported to stay home and recover. Masks can only do so much. Unpaid sick pay forces many back to work too early. This hurts workers and employers alike. Our comment in the Metro 👇

A sick leave fact we probably haven't shared yet... Slightly concerning to read, though, that some medieval peasants reportedly had longer and better sick pay terms than some workers today! Thank you @durham_uni for uncovering this interesting historical fact.

Interesting reflections here from Professor Neil Greenberg @somceo on the Mayfield Review: "The Dutch system... requires employers to provide sick pay and occupational health input for up to two years, has achieved far higher return-to-work rates #SafeSickPay
