Isolation help Scotland

Options
My child tested positive by LFT and has to stay off school, therefore I am off work to look after him. I don’t get paid because I’m taking care of him and I am negative (if I was positive I’d get paid) I have had two vaccinations but no booster (please, no judgment) Anyway… NHS Scotland has informed me I MUST isolate for 10 days, work says I should do daily LFT and go in if negative, not taking account of my vaccine history and totally ignoring my childcare situation. The dilemma I’m having is, why won’t work pay me if I’m being made to stay at home by the Scottish guidelines and not through choice (although I’d always choose to be at home by my child’s side to take care of them)
