Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

There are different rules for different types of workers, see here: https://www.gov.uk/holiday-entitlement-rights/entitlement

The current statutory minimum for full-time workers is 28 days' paid annual leave. We're not sure which group of workers you would like to receive 25 days' leave plus bank holidays.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
