VIC:State work-from-home laws land as business squares up

Regular part-time and casual workers are set to be covered by contentious state work from home laws.

The Victorian Labor government will introduce a bill to state parliament on Tuesday to legislate a right for all public and private sector employees to work from home two days a week if they reasonably can.

The laws, which were first announced in August, will cover regular casual and part-time workers, the government has revealed.

Guidance will be released before the mandate takes effect from September 1 on how pro-rata entitlements will work.

"Work from home works for families, it saves time and money and it gets more parents working," Premier Jacinta Allan said.

"That's why we're protecting work from home in law."
