Summer series: The legal right to ignore your boss

<p dir="ltr">Ever been out with mates after work when your manager&rsquo;s number flashes up on your phone screen?</p> <p dir="ltr">In August this year, the Government&rsquo;s right to disconnect laws came into effect, meaning you can now legally refuse a call or text from your boss once you&rsquo;ve clocked off. The laws were developed over concerns about modern workplaces and smartphones invading personal lives.</p> <p dir="ltr">In today&rsquo;s deep dive, we&rsquo;ll take a closer look at what&rsquo;s changing, what this law means for workers and employers, and what the TDA audience told us they think about the right to disconnect.</p> <p dir="ltr">Hosts: Harry Sekulich and Zara Seidler</p> <p>Want to support The Daily Aus?
