Under the proposed legislation, employers are required to define employees' nonworking hours in writing and are prohibited from contacting workers during these designated nonworking hours, except in cases of 'emergencies' or schedule changes.
A.B. 2751 is fraught with ambiguities and unclear practical application. The bill's definition of 'emergency' lacks clarity, leaving uncertainty as to what qualifies as an 'unforeseen situation' or a 'threat.' Penalties for violating the 'right to disconnect' are vague, requiring a 'pattern of violation' before filing a complaint.
Concerns and opposition from the business community have arisen regarding A.B. 2751, highlighting its potential impact on various industries and criticizing its lack of specificity regarding communication boundaries and emergencies. The bill's failure to address industry nuances may hamper workplace flexibility and commercial efficiency.
