Closed petition Require employers to pay workers on a weekly basis.

Closed on 9 September 2020

Many individuals find it difficult to budget for an entire month for themselves and their families for various reasons, for example: they've changed jobs, started receiving pension payments, or exited the Benefits system. It should be required that employers in the UK pay workers every 7 days.

If the Government mandates that anyone who employs another person ensures they receive their payments on a weekly basis, people will be kept away from the State-provided benefits and assistance systems. This would be beneficial for both the Government, and the British people and help to ensure a fairer and more balanced United Kingdom.
