Tag Archives: Right to Disconnect Laws

Australia’s “Right to Disconnect” laws, effective from August 26, 2024, grant employees the ability to refuse work-related communications outside their designated working hours, provided such refusal is reasonable. This legislation aims to protect personal time and promote a healthier work-life balance.

Employers are encouraged to develop clear policies and provide training to ensure compliance with the new laws, fostering a work environment that respects employees’ personal time and promotes overall well-being.
