Rewarding key workers
Identify key workers via tax coding or benefits system. Such identification would allow rewards to be made easily on future emergencies. Such identification by job type can be found in some other countries' payroll systems.
Why the contribution is important
The public is clapping for key workers every Thursday night. There ought to be a means by which Parliament could ensure it is simple to reward such workers for exceptional work on behalf of us all in emergencies. This could, for example be done by having a special tax rate for a defined period for such workers.
The difficulty comes in identifying who is "key": not all NHS employees are key, for example.
