California Considers “Right to Disconnect” Legislation
캘리포니아 주, ‘연결되지 않을 권리’ 법률 제정 검토
California Assemblyman Matt Haney has introduced a bill that could make it the first state to grant employees the right to ignore non-emergency work communications after hours.
Inspired by similar law in other countries, Haney's proposal aims to establish clear boundaries for work-related contact outside of designated hours.
If passed, employers violating the law could face fines starting at $100.

The legislation mandates employers to define working hours clearly and allows employees to disregard non-urgent messages during personal time.
It exempts emergencies and scheduling changes within 24 hours, requiring a three-strike system before penalties apply.
The bill covers salaried employees and extendes to remote workers employed by California-based companies.

Despite its intentions, the proposal faces criticism from business advocates, questioning its practical implementation and enforcement.
Challenges include coordinating schedules across time zones and the reporting process for violations, which may strain state agencies.
While the $100 fine may not deter companies significantly, proponents hope the bill fosters healthier work-life boundaries and reduces employee stress.
