Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Workers are already entitled to be paid for all working time, which includes travelling in connection with work, including travelling from one work assignment to another.

If an employer fails to do this you can raise this with either Acas or HMRC: https://www.gov.uk/pay-and-work-rights

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