right to disconnect fair work
Right to disconnect Fair Work enquiries land in the wrong place regularly, because two separate bodies have Fair Work in the name and they do different jobs.
The Fair Work Ombudsman gives advice and assistance on workplace laws. That is the place to go to understand what the provisions actually say and how they apply.
The Fair Work Commission is the national workplace relations tribunal. It deals with disputes, and it can make orders. That includes orders stopping an employee from refusing contact, and orders stopping an employer from taking certain actions. The power runs both ways, which surprises people.
Disputes are expected to be raised and discussed at the workplace level first. Going straight to the Commission without attempting that is the wrong sequence.
The Fair Work Ombudsman explains the difference. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
