Rejected

What the petition asks
Many companies are refusing to pay national insurance and pension contributions and staff are not furloughed.
The government is responsible for the hospitality sector closing and not providing all the money for the companies to furlough their staff so they should interfere.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for employees to be able to claim furlough directly from the Government; or for the Government to require employers to furlough all eligible employees, if that's something that you'd like to see happen.
