Ikea cuts sick pay for unvaccinated staff forced to self-isolate

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59930206

Quote:
Ikea, which employs about 10,000 people in the UK, said in a statement: "Fully vaccinated co-workers or those with mitigating circumstances will receive full pay for self-isolations. 

"Unvaccinated co-workers will be paid in line with our company absence policy for self-isolation, with close-contact isolation being paid at Statutory Sick Pay. 
Quote:
In England, people who are vaccinated with at least two doses need not self-isolate if they have been in close contact with someone infected with Covid. Unvaccinated people contacted through the government's test-and-trace system must still isolate by law.
Quote:
UK trade unions are concerned about staff relying on only statutory sick pay because they say the rate is too low, forcing workers to ignore isolation rules and spread the infection.
UK trade unions are concerned . . because some of their members who refuse vaccinations won't get full sick pay
