Petition Action

Require companies to tell applicants the status of their job application.

Petition Details

Applicants should have a right to receive a reply from employers. This petition isn’t to push for critical feedback, but a simple “yes, you have a job” or “no, you haven’t." Failure to reply within a reasonable time-frame should be punished by fines, depending on the company's size.

Additional Information

A simple reply from an employer can help better a person's options. People seeking work explore and apply for various types of employment, unskilled jobs, career and training programs or apprenticeships; and often, many of these jobs would start around the same time. Some options may be better than others depending on the individual, and a simple reply of “yes”, “no” or “still being reviewed” can improve a person on making a better choice financially or for their lifestyle.

Placing an applicant in a state of suspense and stress, sometimes for months when it comes to programs and apprenticeships is a cruel situation to place anyone in, when a feedback about the application will allow an applicant to move on and accept other options.
