Clock Off & Switch Off
Work-life balance, unpaid overtime, contact after hours and understaffing are systemic issues for many Australian workers.
Work-life balance, unpaid overtime, contact after hours and understaffing are systemic issues for many Australian workers.
It is vital that workers can switch off from work and be properly paid for the hours they actually work - that includes being paid to be available to respond to work-related calls and emails.
We need the right to clock off and switch off to:
Ensure limits around working times are fundamental for all workers;
End unpaid overtime;
Protect workers from negative consequences for refusing contact outside of working hours; and
Safeguarding people from being pressured to be constantly connected or available to their employers.
The right to disconnect is becoming a reality across the world - in countries including France, Spain, Canada, Argentina, New Zealand and Ireland.It's time for Australia to act.
