answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>The Department for Work and Pensions has not undertaken a formal assessment of changes in employment retention levels since changes to the percentage threshold scheme for statutory sick pay were introduced on 6 April 2014. The Impact Assessment supporting this change reflects that the removal of the scheme will not precipitate illegal discrimination by employers against employees with poor sickness records. If employees should suffer such discrimination then there are legal protections in place.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 08/06/2015 15:49:14 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
