Advance Employee Rights to Obtain a Work and Life Balance

Created by N.O. on January 08, 2013

The purpose of this petition is to improve the quality of life for the working class. My proposal includes full time employees receiving 5 weeks of paid vacation per year and full time being reduced from 40 hours/5 days a week to 32 hours/4 days a week.
As a society, we are working too hard and not getting enough time to enjoy life. Reducing the work hours and increasing the paid vacation will allow people to improve their work/life balance. If not a Mandatory policy for all corporations, one option is to let this policy change be voluntary. Corporations that follow the guidelines for this policy would be able to receive a tax break or incentive for improving the life of employees.
I would like to ask the White House to look into improving the work/life balance of Americans.
