Laws covering working from home are set to be extended to a broader group of workers, with legislation being prepared by Premier Dan Allan, according to multiple outlets. The changes are scheduled to start on 1 September. For smaller businesses, implementation is phased in: employers have additional time until next year to comply with the new requirements. The reporting indicates that the rollout is designed to expand the scope of existing or upcoming working-from-home rules rather than introduce a completely new framework on the same timeline for all employers. Under the plan, eligible workers gain coverage when the legislation takes effect in September, while smaller employers receive a longer transition period to put necessary arrangements in place. The outlets agree on the key dates: the law begins on 1 September, and small businesses have until the following year to meet the new policy requirements. No additional details about the exact eligibility criteria or compliance obligations are provided in the excerpts.
