We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to make 29th February a bank holiday. More details
Submitted by Liam Timothy – Deadline to sign up by: 11 February 2008 – Signatures: 48
More details from petition creator
During a leap year salaried workers throughout the UK are required to work an extra day with no compensation. There is currently no provision of extra pay in a leap year so either 29th February should be classed as a bank holiday or employees should be entitled to an extra days leave.
