'No 24/7 working' | 'Right to disconnect' law may have huge consequences for US businesses

In the city of San Francisco, Assemblyman Matt Haney has introduced a bill that could redefine the relationship between employees and their employers - the "right to disconnect”.

Assembly Bill 2751 seeks to establish a clear boundary between work life and personal time.

If passed, it would grant employees the legal right to ignore non-emergency work communications outside of designated working hours, with only limited exceptions for emergencies and last-minute schedule changes.

For many, this bill represents a long-awaited reprieve from the relentless grip of technology that has encroached upon every aspect of daily life.
