TL;DR Summary

California is considering a bill, AB 2751, that would give employees the "right to disconnect" from work communications during nonworking hours, with exceptions for emergencies or scheduling. If passed, it would be the first state to establish such a right. The bill also requires employers to create a policy for disconnecting and allows employees to file complaints for violations. In other news, most fast food workers in California will now be paid at least $20 an hour, following a bill signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September.
