right to disconnect webinar

A right to disconnect webinar that walks through the provisions section by section will lose the room. The rules are short. The application is where people are stuck.

The questions that come up are consistent. What about the group chat the team set up themselves. What if the employee prefers to answer. Does an annualised salary count as being compensated for availability. What happens when a client emails an employee directly. How does this interact with flexible hours where somebody chooses to work at night.

None of those has a single answer, and that is the point worth making. Each turns on the same factors, applied to the facts.

Sessions that end with attendees knowing which questions to ask about their own workforce achieve more than sessions that recite the provisions.

The Fair Work Ombudsman publishes the underlying detail. This is general information rather than legal advice, and obligations vary by state and territory.
