Labor and employment agencies in Washington have been busy these last few months, releasing a flood of employment regulations your HR Department may now be preparing to incorporate in the months ahead. Here’s a synopsis of the workplace regulations recently passed by the Biden Administration and scenarios that may lie ahead with regard to the upcoming election. https://loom.ly/kz0Ic4I

The government looks to introduce laws that would give workers the ‘right to disconnect’. The law would give workers the right not to engage in work-related communications, such as emails or calls outside of their standard working hours and empowers the Fair Work Commission to issue stop orders against employers who violate this right. The legislative change would incorporate considerations for casual employees and establish a framework for determining when contact outside of these standard hours is reasonable. The new laws are expected to pass parliament in the coming week.    #industrialrelations #fairworkcommission #FWC #employer #employeerights #HR #workplaceculture #workplacerelations
