Income Protection
If you are off work with a long term illness how long will your employer pay you an income? If you are self employed how long will the business function effectively to make profit?
You ask the question and your boss says your sick pay is discretionary but don't worry we will look after you or if your self employed you cant afford to be ill.
The last few years has shown us how fragile the world is and if suddenly you have no income how do you pay your bills and run your lifestyle.
Statutory Sick Pay is £96.35 per week for the first 28 weeks and then you receive Employment and Support Allowance.
Can you run your household with this?
