Embracing Flexibility in Remote Work

Is this the end of the 9 to 5? A new push aims to let parents choose their work hours, helping Aussie families spend more time together.

Key employer associations urge the Fair Work Commission to remove restrictions on set shifts and minimum pay for remote workers. They stress the need for flexibility in agreements to accommodate household duties. Suggestions include allowing parents to make up time spent with kids outside regular hours and starting work earlier to align with family schedules. They argue that existing awards fail to adapt to the rise of remote work.

Watch as Natasha Hawker shares her insights on Sunrise - Channel 7, discussing the potential impact of this new proposal.
