"California Proposes 'Right to Disconnect' Bill for Improved Work-Life Balance"
California Assembly Bill 2751, introduced by Asm. Matt Haney, aims to give workers the "right to disconnect" by allowing them to disengage from work-related communications during non-work hours. The bill requires employers to establish a right-to-disconnect policy, with exceptions for emergencies and certain industries. If passed, California would become the first state in the U.S. to implement such a law, potentially benefiting the workforce and making the state more competitive in attracting skilled workers.
