Rejected petition Give everyone their birthday off. If clashing with a day off give a day in lieu.
Rejected on
There has been, for a long time, suggestions that the UK was to have another Bank/Public Holiday. However a date could not be agreed upon.
For the whole country to have the day off various employment sectors are affected. This way everyone gets a day off to celebrate the day they were born.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This would be a decision for employers, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
