Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Change the qualifying time period for unfair dismissal from 2 years to 1 year

I would like the Employment Rights Act 1996 Section 108 qualifying time period for unfair dismissal changed from 2 years to one year. This is due the increasing frequency of temporary workers. All tax payers should have legal protection whilst at work for the work they have done.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
