Workers in Australia can now legally ignore work calls, emails after office hours
In Australia workers are now legally protected if they ignore their bosses after work hours. A new 'right to disconnect' law came into force on Monday, designed to protect their personal time from work emails and calls. The rule ensures that employees, in most cases, cannot be punished for refusing to read or respond to contact from their employers outside of working hours. And for bosses or companies that insist - authorities can intervene and even slap them with a several-thousand dollar fine. Supporters argue the law gives workers the confidence to stand up against the steady invasion of their personal lives by work emails, texts and calls. It's a trend that accelerated after the COVID-19 pandemic blurred the lines between home and work. Watch here for more details - #australianews #workers #australialatestnews #workerrights
