right to disconnect training
Right to disconnect training is often rolled out to everyone equally. The risk is not distributed equally.
Managers send the after-hours contact, set the expectations, and make the decisions afterwards. A manager who reacts to a declined Sunday call by reallocating good work, cooling on a promotion or dropping someone from a roster has moved a minor disagreement into general protections territory.
What managers need is narrow. What the right actually says, since most believe it bans contact. The factors that decide reasonableness. How to set expectations in advance with someone in their team. And the clear instruction that treating someone differently for exercising the right is the serious risk.
Employees need much less than that. Mostly they need to know the right exists.
The Fair Work Ombudsman publishes guidance for employers. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
