A law protecting the right to switch off from work

From Lately, 10:48 pm on 1 March 2022

In Europe some countries have passed laws to protect workers right to disconnect from work communications at the end of a normal working day. In January Belgium brought in a law giving federal officials the right to make themselves unavailable after work. Portugal has similar measures in place and now there's a push to introduce a 'right to disconnect' law across the European Union. One of those backing it is Alex Agius Saliba from Malta who's a member of the European Parliament.
