The firms cutting Covid sick pay for staff who are unvaccinated
Several firms have announced cuts to sick pay for unvaccinated staff forced to self-isolate after coming into contact with someone who has Covid-19.
The changes come after the UK government confirmed on Thursday (13 January) that the self-isolation period in England is being reduced to five full days.

Hide AdHealth Secretary Sajid Javid confirmed that UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) data shows that “around two-thirds of positive cases are no longer infectious by the end of day five”.
Under the move, people will now be able to take a lateral flow test on day five and six, and can leave isolation if they get two negative results.
