    I don’t understand what you mean? If someone is fired for not taking a call in their off time they would file a complaint/sue (I don’t know how the Australian legal system works).

        Yeah, here in the US almost every state has “at will” employment, so any protections could really be circumvented by just firing a worker for whatever other reason (or no reason at all) they want. Hopefully labor has it better in the land down under.

      In the meantime, the worker still has bills to pay and food to buy, and even a successful complaint or suit would still likely end with the worker either not being employed there going forward, or a very confrontational workplace.
