Cleaners told the researchers they did not earn enough to qualify for SSP, or could not afford to manage without three days’ pay before it kicked in, or in some cases that their employer had refused to pay it. The three-day waiting period was temporarily scrapped during the coronavirus pandemic amid fears that people would continue working while sick and transmit the disease. Will Stronge, the director of research at Autonomy, said: “The UK has one of the least generous sick pay systems in the industrialised world. Millions of workers across the country are missing out on sick pay and this is making the workplace unsafe for everyone.”

Elias Alvarenga, a cleaner in Canary Wharf in London and a Unite representative, said he commonly spoke to colleagues who did not receive sick pay. “The whole city of London has a sick pay problem,” he said. “We have a lot of members working for different companies in this situation.” A longstanding employee of an outsourcing firm, he said he had personally built up an entitlement to 20 days of paid sick leave – but he dealt with many others who were not so lucky.

Alvarenga said: “We ask them to see their contract. If there’s nothing there for sick pay, we can’t do nothing. If they don’t want to treat their cleaners properly, they won’t.” The report, called “Cleaning up the sector: a better future of work for cleaners”, urges employers to ensure all their staff receive sick pay from day one of falling ill.The CPC is coordinating the Safe Sick Pay campaign, a coalition of charities, experts and politicians calling for reform of the system.

Supporters include the Conservative MPs Priti Patel and Robert Buckland as well as the charity Mind, and the Association of Directors of Public Health. Amanda Walters, the director of Safe Sick Pay, said: “The cleaning industry is in need of a clean-up. When cleaners go back to work sick, they end up making more people ill. This hurts employers and our wider economy.”
