Employers can send you home if you have a notifiable infections disease, which includes Covid, even if you are symptom free. You would then get the same sick pay as if you are too unwell to work.
How your employer is going to know you have Covid I'm not sure. Will they be providing and supervising tests?

This is a new one on me, it's all new I guess as shit changes monthly it seems.
My employer insists you are absent from work if you test positive. However, as we have no sick pay policy of any worth, you only get statutory sick pay after day 4.
Q, is it legal to insist you don't work, but not pay you? Employers explain a staff member can use Holiday to top up but, what if you'd allocated all your holiday and had none spare?
