Australia could soon allow workers to ignore office calls and emails outside contracted hours

• Australia's Senate passed a new bill on Thursday giving employees the "right to disconnect" after work.
• The bill allows workers to ignore unreasonable calls and emails from their bosses once they've clocked out. 
• Australia will join a host of countries that already have similar legislation in place.

Australia's Senate passed a bill on Thursday giving employees the "right to disconnect" after work and ignore emails and calls from their bosses during their personal time.

The bill will now return to the House of Representatives for final approval.
