Got a call from the wife earlier saying shes self isolating for 7 days due to symptoms, and that me and the kids would have to for 14 days.
Can I just clarify that this would be with pay? I'm sure it's in black and white somewhere on here, but cant find it for love nor money!

Self isolating due to family member having symptoms.
RE: CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 SICK PAY AND POLICY UPDATE 2/04/2020 CWU
EDIT
We have had reports into the department Managers are telling members if you have to self-isolate due to someone in your household having symptoms, this is without pay. To be clear if you have to self-isolate due to someone in your household having symptoms, you should self-isolate for up to 14 days, i.e. 7 days after you develop symptoms. E.g. If you get symptoms on day 3, self-isolation is until day 10. The 14 days should be extended if you get symptoms in the latter stages and this should be paid sick leave. Managers should choose “Coronavirus with Symptoms” if the employee has symptoms and “Coronavirus Self Isolation” if they do not have symptoms.
NOTE; From the STICKIES
self-isolation, testing, reporting and pay : **Update 31 March**

b) Self-isolation, testing and reporting
What is the latest government advice re self-isolation for employees?
The situation is constantly changing and you should check Public Health England guidance for the latest advice
on this area.
Our understanding of the current position is that employees could be isolating for between 7 and 14 days and
this could be extended by around a week if they develop symptoms during self-isolation.
All absences should be treated as sickness absence. Managers should choose “Coronavirus with Symptoms” if
the employee has symptoms and “Coronavirus Self Isolation” if they do not have symptoms. Please update the
absence if the reason for absence changes.
