维多利亚州规定每周两次为包括小企业在内的所有雇主进行远程工作。 Victoria to mandate remote work twice weekly for all employers, including small businesses.

维多利亚州政府将要求包括小企业在内的所有雇主允许工人每周两天要求远程工作, Victoria’s government will require all employers, including small businesses, to allow workers to request remote work two days a week, making it unlawful to discriminate against such requests. 这一举动是劳动局连选战略的一部分,旨在根据《平等机会法》,以雇员的福利和生产力为例,将灵活的工作权利写入《平等机会法》。 The move, part of Labor’s re-election strategy, aims to enshrine flexible work rights under the Equal Opportunity Act, citing employee well-being and productivity. 虽然公众的支持是强有力的,但商业团体对成本、失业和业务压力提出警告,敦促对较小的公司给予豁免。 While public support is strong, business groups warn of costs, job losses, and operational strain, urging exemptions for smaller firms. 没有澳大利亚州有这样的法律,预计11月选举之前将制定立法。 No Australian state has such a law, and legislation is expected before the November election.
