Summary
Victoria’s government is set to make working from home a legal right for millions of employees — including casuals and part-timers — with a new bill aiming to let workers telecommute up to two days a week. The move, championed by Premier Jacinta Allan as a family-friendly boost to savings and employment, could save workers up to $5,000 annually. But business groups warn it removes vital flexibility and could hurt Victoria’s economy. The legislation, expected this week, will hit larger firms by September 2024 and smaller ones by July 2027 — with disputes handled by Victoria’s human rights commission. This bold shift could reshape the future of work — and the battle’s just beginning. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
