Petition text

Change Universal Credit rules so low-paid employees can keep their hard-earned bonuses - rather than have them taken by the government.

Why is this important?

Low-paid employees are losing out on hard-earned Christmas bonuses - because of the UK government’s stringent new benefit system, Universal Credit. Greggs workers receiving Universal Credit could lose almost all of their £300 bonus, with the government raking in the extra cash.

This scandal has been splashed across the papers. Experts are calling on the government to fix the system so that working people can keep their hard-earned bonus. But so far nothing has been done.

If you think employees shouldn’t lose out on small bonuses because of strict Universal Credit rules, will you add your name to the petition now?
