Ignore Work Emails

Australian employees can now ignore work calls and other intrusions into home life thanks to a new "right to disconnect" law designed to curb the creep of work emails and calls into personal lives.

Australia will soon follow some European nations in giving workers the right to disconnect after office hours, leaving businesses facing potential punitive consequences for calling or emailing their employees once they've clocked out.

That 10 p.m. email from your boss? It's your right to ignore it.

Liberty, equality, fraternity - and now, the "right to disconnect."
