This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

There is no legal minimum when deciding what constitutes "full time hours". It is up to individual employers to decide what is classed as a full or part time contract.

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