Скачать или смотреть Right to Disconnect: Are Employees Finally Free After Work Hours?

Are you expected to reply to office calls, emails, or WhatsApp messages even after working hours?
The Right to Disconnect is a globally recognized labour concept aimed at protecting employees’ mental health, personal time, and work-life balance.

🌍 What does the ILO say?

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), excessive working hours and constant digital connectivity have significantly increased stress, burnout, anxiety, and work-related mental health issues, especially after the rise of remote work.
The ILO highlights the need for clear boundaries between work and personal life, encouraging countries to adopt policies that limit after-hours work communication.

🇫🇷 France – A Global Leader

France became the first country in the world to formally implement the Right to Disconnect in 2017.
Under French labour law:
• Companies with 50+ employees must define rules for after-hours communication
• Employees are not obligated to respond to work calls, emails, or messages outside office hours
• Employers must respect personal time and digital boundaries

🌐 Other Countries Taking Action

Several countries have followed similar paths:
• Germany: Encourages companies to block after-hours emails
• Spain: Recognizes digital disconnection as a legal right
• Italy & Belgium: Introduced labour protections limiting after-hours work communication

🇮🇳 India & the 2020 Labour Codes

India does not yet have a specific “Right to Disconnect” law, but important steps were taken through the Labour Codes passed in 2020, including:
• Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
• Emphasis on working hours regulation, employee well-being, and safety
• Growing discussions in Parliament and courts around work-life balance and digital overreach

With increasing awareness, trade unions, employees, and legal experts are pushing for India to adopt a formal Right to Disconnect framework, especially for IT and corporate sectors.
