Clause 15A gives effect to the right in s 333M of the Act for an employee to refuse, unless unreasonable, to monitor, read or respond to out-of-hours contact from the employer or from a third party about work. It has applied from 26 August 2024 for employers that were not small business employers on that date and from 26 August 2025 for small business employers. The employer must not directly or indirectly stop an employee exercising that right. This does not stop the employer requiring an employee who is paid the clause 17.2 on-call allowance to monitor and respond to contact telling them to attend or perform work or about the on-call, and does not stop contact to tell them of a recall (clauses 17.1 and 22.2).
