The Right to Disconnect

Discussion with Q & A 

A major update to Australian employment law came into effect recently, granting many employees the “right to disconnect.” Under Section 333M of the Fair Work Act 2009, employees will be entitled to disregard work-related communications from their employer or third parties outside of their designated working hours.

Chris Owens and Martin Dunne will discuss:

• Key elements of the right to disconnect
• Implications for employers
• Effects on Modern Awards
• Best practices for compliance and practical strategies to address potential challenges

Whether you’re an employer aiming to ensure compliance or an HR professional adapting to these new obligations, this online discussion will provide essential insights into your responsibilities and provide an opportunity for you to ask your questions.
