澳大利亚2024年的“断裂权法”减少了全时工人的无薪加班,但由于小企业推迟遵守规定,非全日工人人数有所增加。 Australia’s 2024 right-to-disconnect law reduced full-time workers’ unpaid overtime, but part-time workers saw increases due to delayed compliance in small businesses.

2024年实施的澳大利亚脱节法权利似乎正在减少全时工人的无薪加班,每周无薪时数从2023年的6.2小时下降到2025年的3.8小时——每年储蓄工人约8 892美元。 Australia's right to disconnect laws, implemented in 2024, appear to be reducing unpaid overtime for full-time workers, with weekly unpaid hours dropping from 6.2 in 2023 to 3.8 in 2025—saving workers about $8,892 annually. 研究人员将这种下降在很大程度上归因于新法律,尽管生活费用压力和更强有力的讨价还价也可以发挥作用。 Researchers attribute much of the decline to the new law, though cost-of-living pressures and stronger bargaining may also play a role. 然而,非全时工人的无薪加班从每周2.8小时增加到3.7小时,这很可能是由于他们集中在招待和零售等部门,而小企业在2025年8月才开始遵守规定。 However, part-time workers saw unpaid overtime rise from 2.8 to 3.7 hours per week, likely due to their concentration in sectors like hospitality and retail, where small businesses only began complying in August 2025. 专家们强调非全时工人目前面临的挑战,包括工作无保障和对权利认识有限,并建议签订更强有力的集体协议,规定自动加班触发器和透明小时跟踪。 Experts highlight ongoing challenges for part-time workers, including job insecurity and limited awareness of rights, and recommend stronger collective agreements with automatic overtime triggers and transparent hour tracking. 就业部长Amanda Rishworth表示,法律没有面临重大争议,一项调查发现,58%的雇主报告雇员的参与和生产率有所改善。 Employment Minister Amanda Rishworth said the law has faced no major disputes and a survey found 58% of employers reported improved employee engagement and productivity.
