High street retailer Next has confirmed it has cut sick pay for unvaccinated staff who are self-isolating due to Covid exposure.
The company said all staff who test positive – regardless of whether they are vaccinated – will be paid in full.
However, unvaccinated staff who are required to isolate because they have been identified as a close contact of someone with the virus will only receive statutory sick pay unless there are mitigating circumstances.
The move comes after a number of other firms, including Morrisons and Ikea, introduced similar policies for unvaccinated workers.
