Sick Pay Guarantee – business owner

[Transcript] 

Huw Murdoch: Hi, my name is Huw Murdoch. I’m the owner of Wild Life Bakery in East Brunswick. 

It's very hard for a casual worker to not come into work when they're feeling sick, because they often can't afford to have that day off. 

If someone comes in and they're sick, and then they make everyone else sick, then you lose the whole kitchen staff for a lot longer. 

I want this to succeed, and I think that a lot of staff will be really happy to see it come in.  

I think it will mean that a lot of people feel like they can budget things a lot better and maybe make the choices they should make about not coming into work when they're when they're sick.
