Save The Sunday Premium: Ensure Fair Compensation For Workers.

The Issue

For years, working on a Sunday has come with a little something extra—an acknowledgment that giving up a day traditionally seen as a day of rest deserves fair compensation. Some jobs used to offer double pay, others time and a half, and in many roles, there was a small premium.

But now, some employers are starting to take that premium away. It’s not just disappointing—it’s unfair. Employees across the country deserve recognition for giving up their Sundays.

Sunday pay premiums are more than just money—they’re part of a tradition that respects workers' time. Letting employers cut these benefits erodes that tradition, and it’s time to take a stand.

We, the undersigned, are calling on the government to make a 10% Sunday Premium the legal minimum for all employers. Let’s ensure that those working Sundays are fairly compensated, and let’s keep this tradition alive.
