Australia gives workers right to ignore bosses after-hours calls and emails

Australia has passed legislation granting workers a "right to disconnect" outside of work hours, allowing them to ignore emails and phone calls from bosses if they choose to. This law aims to address the blurring of boundaries between professional and personal lives. The legislation is similar to rules in over 20 other countries. The law is intended to give workers the confidence to set boundaries between their work and personal lives, which has become increasingly difficult due to digital technology.
