Require all employers to give full-time employees 30 days annual leave

Closed 126 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to increase the statutory minimum annual leave entitlement to 30 days per year (excluding Bank Holidays). We think that in today's fast-paced world, the traditional 20-25 days of annual leave no longer reflects the realities of the work/life balance and personal well-being.
We think this could ensure that employees have the necessary time to rest, recharge and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
