- The government of Australia is looking to pass a law on "Right to Disconnect".
- It aims to regulate timings for when bosses are allowed to contact employees beyond their working hours via phone calls, messages or emails.
- Under the Bill, the employees have the right to refuse to engage with employer communications outside of their designated working hours, unless deemed unreasonable.
- Similar laws have already been passed in France, Italy, and Belgium.
- The concept of the 'Right to Disconnect' stems from the recognition that modern technology blurs the boundaries between work and personal life.
- In India, the Right to Disconnect Bill of 2018 was drafted by Baramati MP Supriya Sule.
- It aimed to empower the employees to negotiate the terms for out-of-work communications.
