Rejected petition Recognise and reward key and essential workers
During this pandemic many workers have been furloughed and have spent quality time with their household families Managed to do much needed home improvements etc. Key and essential workers such nhs staff and hgv delivery persons. Have been working harder than ever with reduced rests
More details
With some staff working harder or not even making it home to keep family safe and reduce spread. I want the government to financially reward with a grant to match the remuneration of those furloughed or similar.
Or allow employers to claim a grant to give these workers an extra 2 weeks off work in the next 12 months to give them time with families or do home improvements to match the rest of country
