The supermarket joins a list of firms which pay the legal minimum to unvaccinated staff obliged to isolate.

Unjabbed Morrisons workers who are told to isolate but test negative now get statutory sick pay of £96.35 a week.

Under Morrisons' policy, if NHS Test and Trace informs an unvaccinated worker that they have been exposed to Covid-19, they will only get statutory sick pay - the legal minimum - when they isolate. This resulted in unvaccinated workers being more likely to take time off than their vaccinated colleagues, even when not infected with coronavirus.

Sick pay cuts will also be implemented at Wessex Water and in the US, several major companies have started penalising unjabbed workers.

Antony Worrall Thompson says he believes in ‘freedom of choice’ around vaccinationsAntony Worrall Thompson says he believes in ‘freedom of choice’ after pub displays ‘anti-vax’ sign Then stay the hell away from the rest of us. He displayed this when he previously thought this freedom of choice included freedom of whether or not to pay for goods in shops… He is entirely correct that all should have a choice but people also have a choice not to use an establisment like that should they choose. Cant have itboth ways.
