California lawmakers are proposing AB 2751 which, if enacted, would allow employees to disconnect from employer communications outside of agreed working hours, fostering work-life balance.
The proposed legislation requires employers to develop a policy defining non-working hours and restricts employer communications during this time, except in emergencies or last-minute scheduling changes.
Without a private right of action for employees, the bill emphasizes reliance on complaints to the California Labor Commissioner, imposing fines for repeated violations as a punitive measure.
AB 2751 applies broadly to both public and private sectors and aims to refine definitions related to emergencies and employers, signaling an evolving workplace dynamic.
