The Right to Disconnect

Join us for a comprehensive webinar where we'll unpack what this change means for employers, and the workplace environment.

From August 26, 2024, a significant change in Australian employment law will come into effect, providing many employees with the "right to disconnect." Under Section 333M of the Fair Work Act 2009, employees will have the right to ignore work-related contact from their employer or a third party outside their designated working hours.

In this webinar/ Q & A session, we will explore:

  • Key provisions of the right to disconnect

  • Implications for employers

  • Impact on Modern Awards

  • Best practices for compliance and practical solutions to potential challenges

Whether you are an employer looking to ensure compliance or an HR professional navigating these new obligations, this webinar is essential for understanding your responsibilities.
