Implement a four day working week across the UK
To consider implementing a four day working week across the UK to improve employees' work/life balance, mental health, and subsequently, productivity in the workplace.
It has been tried and tested in multiple territories, with overwhelmingly positive results that showed an increase in productivity and mental health from workers.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the length of the working week, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
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.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
