Australia’s New “Right to Disconnect” Law

Australia has a new “Right to Disconnect” law!

“Is your boss texting you on the weekend? Work email pinging long after you’ve left for home?

“Australian employees can now ignore those and other intrusions into home life thanks to a new “right to disconnect” law designed to curb the creep of work emails and calls into personal lives.

“The new rule, which came into force on Monday, means employees, in most cases, cannot be punished for refusing to read or respond to contacts from their employers outside work hours.”
