Australians get ‘right to disconnect’ after hours

Australia has implemented a “right to disconnect” law, allowing employees to ignore work-related communications after hours without fear of punishment.

This new rule aims to help workers achieve better work-life balance, addressing the issue of unpaid overtime, which averages 281 hours annually in Australia.

The Fair Work Commission can intervene in disputes, with penalties for non-compliance, the BBC has reported.
