Introduction of 'Right to Disconnect' Legislation
Parents/carers may be aware that a recent change in workplace legislation has introduced the right for employees to disconnect outside of their working hours. This new law will come into effect on 26 August 2024.
Our teachers and other staff members are committed to providing the best education and support for your children. To ensure they can maintain a healthy work-life balance and deliver their best during working hours, the new legislation allows them to refrain from monitoring, reading, or responding to work-related communications outside of their scheduled hours.
We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation in regard to this new legislation. Here are a few points to keep in mind:
- Response Time: You are of course welcome to send emails and messages at a time convenient to you, however, please understand that if sent to a staff member outside of their working hours, they may not respond until they return to work.
- Urgent Matters: If you have an urgent concern, please consider contacting the College Office by phone 6562 7200 or by email kmps@lism.catholic.edu.au
- Ongoing communication: We will continue to communicate important updates and information in a timely manner.
Thank you for your support and understanding as we implement this important change.
