Put a limit on temporary contracts so people are employed fulltime quicker

Petition Details

Starting a new job and being there for 2 years then being released due to no work is unacceptable and it effects mental health specially if you have a great record and have not done anything wrong with no time off. There needs to be a limit on how long a company can keep you temporary.

Additional Information

Please sign this petition to help families get more stability instead of constantly worrying about not being able to pay your bills as a company can release you without warning.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want to put a specific time limit on probationary periods or on temporary employment contracts contracts more widely.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

There's already a petition about strengthening workers' rights, which you might like to sign:
