Article summary

Employment analysis: The Coronavirus Bill, currently progressing through Parliament, contains provisions creating a new form of statutory unpaid leave called ‘emergency volunteering leave’ and also empowering provisions to allow for refunds to employers of coronavirus (COVID-19)-related SSP payments and disapplication of the three day waiting period (in coronavirus (COVID-19)-related cases) that normally applies before SSP is payable.
