What if it's the employee annoying the employer after hours

This is what frustrates me about the “right to disconnect”. Sure, we have the “right” to ignore work calls and messages outside of work hours without getting in trouble — but that doesn’t mean we’ve actually disconnected. The second that work notification pops up, you’re thinking about work again. You’re wondering what’s happened, whether it’s urgent, what you’ll need to deal with tomorrow… and suddenly work has taken up space in your personal time, whether you replied or not. There should be more responsibility placed on employers to simply not contact employees outside their working hours unless it’s genuinely necessary or urgent. The right to disconnect should mean being able to actually switch off, not just having the right to leave a message on read.

My boss works all weird hours and sends emails outside of work hours. Now, I don't have to check those emails but occasionally I do hear the notification from my laptop and curiosity gets the better of me so I check it...is he breaching the law?

I’m sorry but even from your boss I don’t see how tiktok could be perceived as work related when they are working in a salon unless the boss is making them run social media and that was their reason for sharing. Other than that sending TikTok’s is a stretch on the right to disconnect specifically.

How over the top was the communication that someone felt the need to lodge a Fair Work complaint? Like how many times did they say "stopping sending me tiktoks" before thinking "I'm taking this mofo to the comission"?

People should be allowed to send tik toks and snap chats to whomever they want whenever they want to

I was contacted by a govt depts ethics committee while on maternity leave over an investigation I did on an employee. I was in labour at the time & my partner answered my phone, thinking it was someone we know but not saved on my phone was seeking an update. The person was extremely demanding and rude to my partner for not handing over the phone to me. I could hear her carry on across the room. I was in disbelief the ethics committee, of all people would be like that. So sometimes, even though there are no repurcussions for you, it does have an impact on you.

Orson Sadler :
when your boss gets in a bad mood with you for disconnecting and also withholds your salary, i would've thought it could be argued that those were adverse consequences. knowing that's the type of person he is, it would be reasonable for his employees to feel like they can't disconnect.

Well - it’s serious if an employee is on stress leave and needs to get better. So it’s odd that the employer would then send a shit list while still on leave - that’s 🚩 toxic and not conducive to helping employees getting better. It aims to make it worse.

UnmotivatedAuthor :
I wonder how this might be interpreted where an employer forces an employee to download employee apps onto their personal devices, and can’t switch off notifications making it impossible to ‘disconnect.’

the bad mood the next day is the negative consequences. tribunal got it wrong, they need to be fired. the teacher is on leave, unless the matter is criminal, in which case the police should be investigating, the employer can also go pound sand.

How would that work if say youre away on a holiday overseas, on a cruise or outback where theres no comms or you simply dont take your work phone / lap top with you? Its difficult to respond if you dont take work tools away on holiday

Cairns one will be very interesting - this is not unusual behaviour in the private/independent school space currently.

Simon Watts :
If you're an employer just don't send communications to employees via apps they will use in their personal life. It's cringe. Use a work related chat app where notifications can be manager / turned off outside work hours by the employee if they choose. If it's genuinely so important and urgent, call them and be prepared to pay whatever award rate for the minimum number of work hours you'd have to pay them to be called into work. Unless you're calling someone with a life threatening issue because your job involves caring for sick people or animals it's probably not that urgent.

But can’t you ignore phone calls, I would of thought getting sent anything would raise anxiety to open it or not
