Closed Double pay for Sunday working

Closed on

Make it law that any employee, working on a Sunday, is paid double their standard weekday rate of pay and any employee working a bank holiday is paid double pay with a day off in lieu.
Successive Governments say they want to support families here they can do. Although Sunday was a Christian rest day, it has now become a family day when, with some families, it is the only day they do something together. If they have to work they are at least able to spend the extra money on their family life.
