UK government considers "right to disconnect" non-binding guidance to promote work-life balance and prevent homes from being 24/7 offices.
The UK government is considering a "right to disconnect" from work, aiming to promote a positive work-life balance and prevent homes from becoming 24/7 offices. Legislation allowing workers to disconnect from work has been adopted in several European countries, as the risk of "always on" working has increased since the pandemic began. The government's plans will come in the form of non-binding guidance in a new code of practice for businesses, rather than a law change.
