Union wants no delay in introducing statutory sick pay By Mike Gilmore Sick pay is set to be phased in from next year, starting with three days paid leave per annum.
The long awaited announcement on statutory sick-pay has finally been made, with eight months having passed since it was first mooted.
The imperative need for the measures was highlighted by the pandemic, with workplaces a hotbed of infection in the early stages of the ongoing ordeal.
Speaking outside Government Buildings on Wednesday, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar announced proposals to introduce statutory sick pay measures from next year, starting with a three day minimum for paid leave due to an illness.
we are posing the question this month ‘What is the future of work after Covid-19?’. Siptu economist Michael Taft makes the case that this is a good time to reconsider how workers are treated.
The pandemic has highlighted a growing understanding of the world of work. Clearly, there is a greater appreciation of the work performed by people in sectors such as health, retail, waste, transport and the gig economy. Work that was unseen or unrecognised prior to the pandemic has now come into full view.
However, it is vital that we don’t merely react to new or emerging trends on an ad hoc basis. We need to think about this and plan what comes next. The future of a fair and progressive workplace will revolve around three pillars: stakeholder planning, a new social contract, and respect and security in the workplace.

TOP Limerick playwright Mike Finn is among the performers as People Before Profit (PBP) launches a new local branch this Thursday.
The left wing alliance, which counts Dublin TDs Paul Murphy and Richard Boyd-Barrett among its number, is to start a new branch in the region, with former local councillors Paul Keller, Joe Harrington and Cian Prendiville supporting it.
Mr Prendiville, a City North councillor from 2014 to 2018, said: “I joined People Before Profit recently as I believe the left needs to unite to build a voice for workers and socialist policies. PBP has been growing rapidly recently, bringing together a broad array of community, trade union and socialist activists, and I believe we can build a strong branch here in Limerick. Limerick has a strong left and socialist history, from the water charges movement right back to the Limerick Soviet a century ago.”
