The Right to Disconnect Policy ensures employees have the right to disconnect from work-related communications outside of their normal working hours, promoting work-life balance and reducing burnout.

The policy gives guidance to employers and employees about contacting employees out of hours.

It is important to understand that the ‘Right to Disconnect’ is not a prohibition on the ability to contact employees outside of working hours. You can still reach out or send communications to employees at any time - the new right only relates to whether an employee is required to respond to that contact.
