Reduce maximum weekly working hours to 30, increase minimum wage to £15 per hour

Petition Details

Reduce the maximum weekly working hours to 30, encouraging employers to hire more members of staff across an increased number of shifts or retain the same numbers at proven improved productivity. Also, increasing the minimum wage to £15 per hour to account for the loss of hours worked by employees.

Additional Information

Studies have shown that a 4 day (or 30 hour) working week have improved productivity, workplace satisfaction and mental health. There is no reason why the government shouldn't be considering legislation to support this, helping to reduce unemployment and pay people a fair wage. The pandemic over the past year has shown how motivated and willing to work the general population is, and how supporting their personal lives only increases productivity and the important work-life balance.
