: Australia gave millions of workers the legal right to “disconnect” on Monday, allowing them to ignore unreasonable out-of-hours contact from employers, to the distress of big industry.
“The union movement has won the legal right for Australians to spend quality time with their loved ones without the stress of being forced to constantly answer unreasonable work calls and emails,“ she said.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hailed the reform pushed through by his centre-left Labor government.
“At the very least, employers and employees will now be uncertain about whether they can take or make a call out of hours to offer an extra shift,“ it said.Smaller companies with fewer than 15 employees will be covered from August 26, 2025.
