Now in its fifteenth year, Go Home on Time Day on Wednesday 22nd November 2023 is a great way to remind ourselves that life shouldn't revolve around work alone.
Go Home On Time Day is an initiative of The Australia Institute, one of Australia’s most influential public policy think tanks.
The day was conceived in 2009 as a light-hearted way to start necessary conversations in our workplaces about work/life balance, the value of time, and time theft.
Go Home On Time Day is being organised through The Australia Institute’s Centre for Future Work. The Centre carries out progressive economic research on work, employment, and labour markets. Learn more about the Centre, and sign up for regular research updates, by visiting futurework.org.au.
Wednesday 22nd November is your day to stand up against the theft of your time in unpaid overtime and unutilised holidays.
Mark your calendar, and start planning how you will use the time off you are entitled to! Sign up below for Go Home On Time Day. We’ll send you a “Leave Pass,” workplace poster, and other Go Home on Time Day materials.
Invite your friends to participate, and help start the conversation about the value of time, a healthy work/life balance, and protecting ourselves against time theft.
Entire workplaces can participate, too: just send us an email: we’ll send you a whole information pack for your workplace.
Download our Go Home on Time Day posters below to display in your workplace. Or get your whole workplace involved – send us an email and we’ll send you a workplace pack. You may wish to hold a morning or afternoon tea, a lunch-time yoga class or a post-work picnic with the kids.
