Make businesses have family friendly working hours for parents

Petition Details

For the government to introduce family working hours that make finding childcare easier and maintaining a healthy work life balance.

Additional Information

As a parent naturally we make sacrifices as a working parent we miss many important things for hearing about their day on a school pick up to tucking them into bed at night. Since becoming a parent I've had to change my job 3 times due to them changing my hours my current employer is changing my current shift of 8hrs to 12hrs meaning I along with a lot of my colleagues won't see our children for 3 days a week. Flexible working request has been refused due to business needs More help is needed.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

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

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The Government isn't responsible for setting people's working hours, but we could accept a petition calling for businesses to be required to accept flexible working requests in all cases, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
