Reimburse travel expenses for all job interviews

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

It’s disheartening when you go to a job interview and the company doesn’t ever get back to you on whether you were successful or not.

So now you’ve spent time and money on travel and possibly interview clothes. I am petitioning for companies to pay candidates who come in for physical interviews.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government is not responsible for whether companies reimburse job applicants for the expenses of attending a job interview. This is a decision for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons.
