In conclusion, although we support the principle of providing better support for sick workers, we must recognise that these changes, especially when coupled with the increase in short-notice absences, will place significant burdens on businesses. If not properly aligned with existing regulations such as those introduced by the Workers (Predictable Terms and Conditions) Act, the proposed SSP reforms could lead to confusion and operational challenges that make it harder for employers effectively to manage both sick pay and shift scheduling.
