Petition Action

Four Day working week

Petition Details

I would like the government to change from 5 working days to 4 working days and keep the same wage

Additional Information

Life is too short for people to work the majority of their lives. As proven by studies, productivity is increased with a shorter working week. All change starts small and this will improve the lives of many

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a very similar action:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/317794

UK law places limits on the total amount of time someone can work during a week and the minimum amount they can be paid an hour, but it doesn't specify how many or which days of the week they have to work. This would be a decision for employers.
