Petition Action

Reduce the 5 day working week to 4 days.

Petition Details

I want to change the current working week to a 4 day working and 3 day rest and Increase working minutes to a reasonably time and reduce the amount of work to do at home.

Additional Information

The reason I want this is to Increase family time together but also to boost our mental welfare as we have more time to rest and recover from the working week so the next week we can perform at our peak performance and have a little less stress.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. 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 and employees.

We could accept a petition calling for the maximum number of hours worked during a week to be reduced, if this is something you would like to see happen.
