Running a business can get complicated quickly. MBK connects your people, numbers, systems and strategy so you can make better decisions with confidence — with the right support around you across Business Advisory, Tax Accounting, HR, and Bookkeeping & Payroll.

Has your business outgrown the way you've been doing things?

What worked when the business was smaller does not always keep working as it grows.

You may have more people, more moving parts and more decisions to make — without the systems, information or support around you keeping pace.

Sometimes the issue is obvious. Sometimes it is simply a sense that things could be clearer, stronger or easier to manage.

You do not need to wait until something is broken before asking for help.

what is a business keeper?

A Business Keeper helps you see the whole picture.

A strong business needs more than good bookkeeping, sound HR or the right tax advice in isolation.

A Business Keeper looks across the business — people, finance, systems, compliance and strategy — and helps connect what is happening in each area.

We ask the questions that need to be asked, help create clarity and strengthen the foundations around you so you can make better decisions with confidence.

Everything in your business is connected. Your support should be too.

Right to Disconnect

Closing the Loopholes | Legislation Changes | Right to Disconnect

April 22, 2026•2 min read
Right to Disconnect

Right to Disconnect

The second major change to the Fair Work Act in August is in response to employees wanting better work life balance. The Right to Disconnect will allow eligible employees will have the right to refuse employer or third party contact outside of their working hours. This legislation will come into effect for non-small business employers from 26 August 2024, for small business employers (under 15 employees) it will be effective from 26 August 2025.

What is reasonable contact?

There are several factors that must be considered when determining whether the contact that is made with an employee is reasonable, or an employee's refusal to be contacted outside of their working hours is unreasonable. These factors include;

  • The reason for the contact

  • whether the employee is compensated or paid extra to be available or to work outside their ordinary working out

  • the nature of the employee's role and level of responsibility

  • the employees personal circumstances including family or caring responsibilities

Changes to Modern Awards

These changes will be added to all modern awards effective from the 26th of August 2024. There will be specific rules added to Awards to explain how this will apply inside different industries and occupations.

Remember that it is illegal to penalise employees for exercising their right to disconnect and the right does not mean a blanket ban on all after hours contact.

What do employers need to do?

  • Read the right to disconnect information sheet from the Fair Work Commission.

  • Identify and limit unnecessary out of hours contacts within your business.

  • Educate your managers and employees on the right and its implications inside your specific business.

  • Add the right to disconnect in your HR policy manual and review your employment contracts.

  • Utilise technology - out of office hours, email timestamps, hold rules.

  • Set expectations with clients and suppliers around respecting boundaries.
