On August 26th, the right to disconnect laws come into effect for Australian small businesses (less than employees). These laws have already been operating for a year for the majority of Australian employees.
The law aims to protect employees from being expected to work unpaid overtime and to improve work-life balance.
It means employees can choose not to monitor, read, or respond to emails, calls, or other communications from their employer or work-related third parties outside their scheduled work time.
