Victoria considers small business exemption from work from home laws

Victorian Premier Ben Carroll is reviewing controversial work-from-home legislation to possibly grant exemptions for small businesses. The proposed laws allow workers to work from home two days a week. However, industry groups argue that they impose excessive burdens on businesses, including costs associated with setting up home offices and liability risks for workplace injuries. The legislation has passed the lower house and is expected to be amended in the upper house.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
