Sick pay guarantee
Mr TAYLOR
Sick pay guarantee
Mr TAYLOR: You should never have to choose between a day’s pay and your health, but for casual and contract workers that is the choice they face when they are sick. I am proud the Andrews Labor government have introduced an Australian first in the sick pay guarantee, giving eligible casual and contract workers 38 hours sick or carers pay. This is a pilot project, with all the admin work done by the state government, taking the pressure off businesses. With around 5000 people in Knox who may be eligible for this program, make sure you check your eligibility today. Register today at the link in the comments for this scheme, which is backing in locals.
