The right to disconnect laws which have applied to employees of large and medium business for the last 12 months will now also apply to small business employees.

Despite claims of the end of work (and the world in some quarters) being able to finish work and have the right to not check your email or respond to late work calls has not ended the world.

Now people working for businesses with 15 or less employees will have the same rights – they can negotiate terms over out of hours contact expectations and boundaries, without those boundaries being used as a reason to sack someone.

When the laws were passed the Coalition said they would repeal them, but who knows where they have landed now.
