Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “Andrews announces $5 million sick pay scheme trial” – below is their description.
Premier Daniel Andrews has announced there will be a $5 million allocation in the state’s budget to run a two-year trial of a minimum sick pay and carers pay scheme for those in insecure work. “We will design the scheme, it will be focused on industries where we know there is much more insecure work than others,” Mr Andrews said. “The final list of who is included will be determined via that planning process.” He said the scheme will commence in late 2021 or early 2022 and those accepted will be entitled to up to five days pay at the minimum wage. “For leave payment if they are sick or a payment if they gave to care for someone who is sick.”
