"Introducing a prescription like that can potentially lead to conflict and frustration as different employees within your group just simply won't be able to avail themselves of [working from home rights],"
"There's a lot of distortions that might follow if you just try to codify that idea that it's two days a week, and I just think we leave it to the market, leave it to employers and employees to work out that balance."
"disingenuous at best"
Victoria plans to legislate a right for workers who are reasonably able to do their job from home to work remotely two days per week across public and private sectors. Westpac's chief executive described the move as a step too far and warned a prescriptive two-day entitlement could generate conflict and frustration when not all employees can access the right. The Victorian government has held business roundtables to consider implementation. Manufacturing firm Bosch warned it may end its internship program and shift investment elsewhere in response. The proposal follows a recent Fair Work Commission work-from-home dispute involving a major bank.
