"Australian workers are set to have the right to disconnect from their
workplaces once they clock off for the day.
This will “empower workers to ignore work calls and emails after hours [from
their employers], where those demands are unreasonable”, according to Greens
Senator Barbara Pocock who has been driving the change.
Last week, the Senate committee reviewing the “Closing Loopholes” amendments to
the Fair Work Act recommended introducing a right to disconnect to support “the
development of clear expectations about contact and availability in
workplaces”. On Wednesday, the Albanese government indicated it supported the
amendment."
