This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can accept petitions calling for the Government to create minimum wage rates for particular types of workers, but decisions about reimbursing other professional costs are a matter for individual employers, not the Government or House of Commons.

Additionally, your petition says that security workers should be treated like emergency workers, but there is no higher rate of minimum wage for emergency workers.

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