Jacinta Allan says planned work-from-home law would affect all Victorian businesses

The Victorian government plans to legislate a right to work from home two days a week, affecting all businesses regardless of size. Premier Jacinta Allan will confirm that no exemptions will be made for small businesses, a shift from previous considerations. The government argues this ensures fairness, as smaller businesses often lack the flexible work arrangements common in larger companies. Business groups, including the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, have criticized the plan, advocating for individual employer-employee agreements and expressing concern about the policy's impact on small business operations. The details of how this right will be enforced remain unclear.
