  • Australia's new Right to Disconnect laws have been in place for months now, but it seems many employers still aren't getting it
  • and its something we will likely see causing big issues in 2025.

The article from news.com.au discusses the ongoing issue of Australian workers being contacted outside of work hours despite the introduction of the "right to disconnect" legislation. This legislation, which aims to allow employees to ignore work-related communications outside their working hours without repercussions, has not been effectively enforced, leading to widespread disregard by employers. The piece highlights that many bosses continue to expect immediate responses to emails and calls at all hours, causing stress and burnout among employees. Experts warn that without proper enforcement, the mental health and work-life balance of workers will continue to deteriorate, potentially leading to increased workplace disputes and resignations. The article also mentions that while some companies have embraced the legislation, many are still in the dark or choose to ignore it, suggesting a need for clearer guidelines and stronger enforcement mechanisms.
