If you aren’t getting paid extra for after-hours, don’t pickup that phone!
What a garbage misleading title from Reuters.
We always could not answer calls after work, it was never mandatory.
What this change is, is banning employers from doing it at all and giving fines for those who try to do so.
To allow? What? Was Australia requiring/forcing everyone to answer calls from bosses at all hours?
Lemmy is called that because we have to keep saying “Lemmy read that article for you, ya lazy cunt”
- Australia will introduce laws giving workers the right to ignore unreasonable calls and messages from their bosses outside of work hours without penalty, with potential fines for employers that breach the rule.
Is this the good, banter cunt or the bad, you stink cunt in this context? I can never tell.
I took it as good banter and it’s a response to me. So if you’re offended in my honor then you’re a bit too sensitive for the internet.
The “ya” bit makes it the bantery type. If it was “you” it’d be the stinky type
I mean you spend the time to read the article already, why not help someone else save that time?
Also, calling someone lazy is ableist, please don’t do that, you don’t know another person’s circumstances or if that’s a trigger…
Edit: For anyone interested to know more about ableism or why laziness is an ableist concept:
People like you make the world worse, not better
Calling someone a lazy cunt is better for them in the long term than being a self righteous wank like you
Edit to reply to OP’s edit -
Stop reading shite like that mate, it’s fucking brain-rot 😂
So ideally, one person should read the article and disseminate it to others, who then disseminated to others, all in the name of saving time? Have you ever played a game called telephone?
Our labour laws are a lot better than the US, but there are some gaps.
One of those gaps is out-of-hours work calls/emails: there’s currently no explicit protection against your employer insisting you make yourself available.
Lots of unionised workplaces have a ‘right to disconnect’ clause in the EBA, but if you don’t have an EBA, you’re on your own.
This legislation aims to fix that.
This wasn’t already the case?
Wtf do you mean allow? Are people from Australia fuckin servants or something?
Wtf is going on down under?
