Ikea has cut sick pay for unvaccinated staff who need to self-isolate because of Covid exposure and in some cases for workers who test positive.
The retail giant acknowledged it was an "emotive topic" but said its policy had to evolve with changing circumstances.
From this week, sick pay cuts will be implemented at Wessex Water and in the US several major companies have started penalising unjabbed workers.
It comes as firms struggle with mass staff absences and rising costs.
At Ikea unvaccinated workers, who do not have mitigating circumstances, who test positive will be paid in line with company sick pay.
Unvaccinated workers, without mitigating circumstances and required to isolate owing to being identified as a close contact, could now receive as little as £96.35 a week - the Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) minimum.

Some say Walmart is Evil
Some Say Ikea kills more trees than any other corp on earth
one of my kids recently got the crap and after his sick time was used up they refused to let him use his (ample) vacation hours to cover the extra 3 days
Dude the vaccine is not a vaccine.... guess these companies are going to learn the hard way the truth....
We can only hope that Ikea experiences the “Great Resignation.” Let those creeps scramble to find workers to keep the doors open and the business running.
At Ikea?
That’s okay, because Ikea furniture is not real furniture.
“one of my kids recently got the crap and after his sick time was used up they refused to let him use his (ample) vacation hours to cover the extra 3 days”
he does not work for Ikea, he works for another company, it looked unclear. my point was that most corps are going to do this same crap. especially when they can blame the govt.
I will never buy another of their products.
They are, however, fantastic examples of what marketing is when ethics just don’t matter.
Maybe we should sic Mike Lindell on them? Mike’s already crushing BB & B.
🤣🤣🤣
IKEA is a WEF partner, why are people surprised?
How about vaxxed employees that catch CoupFlu...?
Note to Ikea: Fire your legal eagles while you still have a company left.
Sounds like IKEA wants you to continue to work even if you have Covid.
(Dude the vaccine is not a vaccine.)
Apparently not (we are not surprised)

Penalizing workers should do wonders for remedying the staff shortages.
