What the petition asks
It has been said in the Guardian that UK agency workers lose out on £500m a year in missing holiday pay, but this amount is greater, as it does not include the miscalculations on employees working irregular or in zero hour contracts.
In this link, you will find the guardian explain that staff working for agencies are earning an average of 22p an hour less than employees for exactly the same work.

The government page offers a way to calculate holiday entitlement but this system is not fair, as main employees and in some occasions, employers, are losing money with it.
