The option for people of all ages to work a 4 day week instead of a 5 day week.
Instead of working 5 days a week everyone should be able to have the option to work 4 days a week due to the stress, issues and anxiety from education and work.
A lot of people suffer from mental issues, anxiety, bullying, depression etc. So if we had a 4 day working week it would reduce the problems and issues people across the UK are struggling with.
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:
Deciding whether to allow staff to work a four day week is a matter for employers, not the UK Government or the House of Commons. In any case, employees are already entitled to request a four day working week.
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.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to reduce the maximum number of hours someone is allowed to work during a week, to ensure they would only work a four day week, if that is something you would like to see happen.
