Australia is set to introduce a right to disconnect after office hours, as part of proposed industrial relations legislation, following in the footsteps of some European nations. The measure, which could pass this week, would allow employees to refuse to respond to employer contact outside of working hours, with disputes potentially escalated to the Fair Work Commission for resolution. This move aligns with similar laws in France, Spain, and Belgium, aimed at protecting workers from unreasonable contact outside of their designated work hours.
