Episode: The right to disconnect
Description: Numerous overseas jurisdictions have implemented âright to disconnectâ laws â recognising that workers should be able to switch off outside of working hours. Whatâs the likelihood that weâll soon see such laws implemented here? On this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy is joined by barrister Ian Neil SC to discuss what âright to disconnectâ laws are and why they have been implemented in overseas jurisdictions, how such laws operate overseas, whether the need to disconnect has been heightened since the age of COVID-19, and lessons legislators can take from the experiences in other countries.
