"California Bill Proposes 'Right to Disconnect' for Workers After Hours"
TL;DR
California is considering legislation, Assembly Bill 2751, that would give workers the "right to disconnect" from employer messages outside of work hours, aiming to create a clear boundary between work and personal time. The proposed law would require employers to differentiate between working and non-working hours, with exceptions for emergencies and organized labor. The legislation has been referred to the Assembly Labor Committee and is designed to provide worker protections while also being pro-California business.
