What have these twats been doing for the last month?

"Provision for 14 days of paid sick leave if an employee contracts the coronavirus at work; "

How will anyone know where you got it?............Home, work, shops, church............

14 days of paid sick leave, how is this different from normal valid sick leave?

14 days of paid sick leave, how is this different from normal valid sick leave?

22. Sick leave.—(1) In this Chapter, “sick leave cycle” means the period of 36 months’ employment with the same employer immediately following—
(2) During every sick leave cycle, an employee is entitled to an amount of paid sick leave equal to the number of days the employee would normally work during a period of six weeks.
(3) Despite subsection (2), during the first six months of employment, an employee is entitled to one day’s paid sick leave for every 26 days worked.

So 30 days sick leave within 3 years, so around 10 days a year.
If <6 months, it's 6 days.

It's going to be a fun argument to prove that you got it at work.
