Rejected petition Minimum payment of 15 pound per hour wages for Hospitality business

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 only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

The Government sets the national minimum wage, which applies to all workers, but decisions about pay for people in particular sectors are a matter for their employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

National minimum wage to £15 to help working families as inflation rises: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/622490

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