Workers say "no" to unreasonable hours |
More then two million people employed under NSW awards and agreements now have the legal right to refuse to work unreasonably long hours following a unanimous decision of the Full Bench of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission on 10 April 2003. |
Employees can now refuse to work unreasonable levels of overtime if there is a risk to employee health and safety. |
Employees can also refuse to work overtime if the hours impact on their personal circumstances, including family and carer responsibilities, or if the notice given by the employer is unreasonable. |
