Should The Boss Be Able To Call You Outside Work Hours?
Gizmodo looks at the work/life practices of countries around the world in California Law Would Give Workers “Right to Disconnect” From Employer’s Messages Outside Work Hours….
At least thirteen countries around the world have adopted “right to disconnect” laws in recent years, banning employers from forcing workers to always be ready to answer emails and phone calls outside of work hours. And California could be next if new legislation makes its way through the state legislature.
Assembly Bill 2751 would require all employers in California to clearly differentiate between working and non-working hours in any given job and create “company-wide action plans” to make sure employees are only required to respond to messages during working hours or according to a plan agreed upon ahead of time.
Now, that’s a committment to Work/Life balance missing in America. It is easy for some folks to talk union and worker rights but when push comes to shove collapse to convenience. It is a sign of bad management. A committment like this signals a true respect for workers as people, not just a tool.
