From April sixth, the UKs sick pay rules undergo significant changes, with statutory sick pay starting from the first day of illness and covering more low earners. This, along with protection from unfair dismissal after six months and day-one parental and sick pay, is set to benefit millions of workers, particularly women. A new Acas study highlights the day-one sick pay as the biggest operational impact, with unfair dismissal protections ranking second. Further changes are scheduled for April and October, including higher minimum wages and stricter rules on fire-and-rehire tactics and sexual harassment prevention.
