Under the plan, workers would be entitled to work from home at least two days per week, if the job allows.
Victoria's premier Jacinta Allan said the move could save the average worker US$110 a week and keep more women in the workforce. SYDNEY: The premier of the Australian state of Victoria announced Saturday plans to enshrine working from home in law, saying it should be 'a right, not a request'. Under Jacinta Allan 's plan, workers would be entitled to work from home at least two days per week, if the job allows.
'This change will mean that any worker who can reasonably do their job from home has the right to do so for at least two days a week.' Allan said the policy would now go out for consultation with workers, employers and unions. She said it was important to 'get the details of this important change right'. Allan said the move could save the average worker US$110 a week, cut congestion on roads, and keep more women in the workforce.
