Rejected petition Give equal rights to NHS staff bank workers, paid annual leave and sick leave.

As a NHS bank staff worker, i feel we do not get the equal rights of pay and respect. I do not receive annual leave or sick pay in a job i have been working in for over 3 years. Yet my colleagues who are permanent receive full pay whether they are in work in leave off sick or compassionate leave.

More details

I feel it is unfair that we as nhs staff bank workers do not get the equal rights pay and are under valued and degraded because of this. The NHS would not be the same without us working hard in admin, nurses and doctor roles.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Contract terms and conditions for NHS bank staff are a matter for the NHS as the employer, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling for the Government to fund additional benefits for bank staff during the Covid-19 outbreak, if that's something that you'd like to happen.

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