Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has announced details of a new law to give all workers the right to sick pay.
The government’s statutory sick pay scheme will be phased in over a four-year period, starting with three days per year in 2022, rising to five days payable in 2023 and seven days payable in 2024.
Under the Sick Leave Bill 2021, employers will eventually cover the cost of 10 sick days per year in 2025. It’s being phased in to help employers, particularly small businesses, to plan ahead and manage the additional cost, which has been capped, according to the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

Representatives of trade union SIPTU have said that they will look to build on the proposals contained in the new Sick Leave Bill 2021.
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar today (Wednesday, June 9) announced details of a new law to give all workers the right to sick pay.
This statutory scheme will be phased in over a four-year period, starting with three days per year in 2022, rising to five days payable in 2023 and seven days payable in 2024.
Providing sick pay is essential
SIPTU manufacturing division organiser Greg Ennis said that a “guarded welcome” is being given to the proposed bill.
“While we are disappointed by some of the terms of this occupational sick pay scheme, including the limit on the number of days to be granted and the phasing proposed, it does deliver on one of the key issues identified by SIPTU and Congress as part of our submissions to the Special Oireachtas Committee on Covid-19 Response,” Ennis said.
