IKEA slashes self-isolation sick pay for unvaccinated UK staff

As reported by the Mail on Sunday, unvaccinated workers at the furniture retailer are now only eligible for statutory sick pay of £96.35 a week during their ten days of isolation. Comparatively, staff on the shop floor can usually expect an average weekly wage packet of more than £400 before tax.
