Notice to Employers and Members on Changes to the Sick Pay Trust.

Further to our recent communication to employers, following consultation between WRC & Social Partners, amendments have been made to the Construction Workers Sick Pay Trust (CWSPT) that will enhance the benefit payable to employees. These enhancements will ensure that CWSPT offers more favourable terms than the Statutory Sick Pay Scheme. These changes will assist employers in managing the increase in costs associated with statutory sick pay for a small increase to their existing sick pay costs. Details are shown in our rates flyer.
