Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendment 29, which stands in my name and that of my noble friend Lord Sharpe of Epsom, would introduce a very simple principle. Where an employer already provides a contractual sick pay scheme that pays at least 80% of normal weekly earnings, they should be exempt from the statutory sick pay provisions introduced by this Bill.
