Petition One day off for charity

We, the undersigned, call on the government to introduce legislation to give all workers one day of holiday entitlement per year for the benefit of a UK Registered Charity. This is in addition to current holiday entitlements.

The entitlement to be used in the following ways – and in all cases agreed by the worker and confirmed in writing to the workers employer by the participating UK Registered Charity.

1. To give a one day holiday to work for UK Registered Charity.
2. To give a one day holiday for the worker to prepare for work assisting a charity with work, consultancy, fund raising, or participation in a fund raising activity.
3. To pass a day’s wages for a day worked with the agreement of the worker to a UK Registered Charity.
4. Any other way that can be reasonably agreed between worker, employer and a UK Registered Charity.

Let’s go with the governments “one nation” and “big society” agenda and give everyone a real feel good factor by passing this into law!
