"Australia is extending its laidback reputation to the workplace by granting employees a right to disconnect when they are off the clock."
"What we are simply saying is that someone who isn't being paid 24 hours a day shouldn't be penalised if they're not online and available 24 hours a day," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said at a news conference.
"This legislation aims to ease pressure on workers to monitor their phone when they are supposed to be relaxing and spending time with their loved ones."
"Workplaces that breach the rules will face fines of up to 93,900 Australian dollars ($63,805), enforced by the country's Fair Work Commission tribunal."
