The petition is entitled Allow all Civil Servants to have the last Friday in every month off with full pay to compensate for the low salaries and there are no explanatory notes.
Are Civil Servants badly paid? I vividly remember a quote, though not where from (possibly Yes, Minister or Yes, Prime Minister) saying something like - traditionally, Civil Servants were given honours (knighthoods and all that jazz) to make up for the crap pay, but now they're really well paid and still get honours. Something like that.
A quick Google tells me that except for the Senior Civil Service, there are no Government-wide pay systems. "Subject to Treasury approval, each department is encouraged to establish reward structures and pay scales which meet their own particular needs. Annual increases in pay scales are then negotiated with the Treasury in the form of an annual “pay remit”."
Which being so, ducky - get out there and negotiate it for yourself.
