How to disconnect in the connected age

California's proposed law on the right to disconnect after work reflects universally accepted rights regarding working hours, rest, and privacy. However, implementing this law is complex, as it must consider various factors such as the nature of the business, communication urgency, and extent of remote work. France, where this right first became law, leaves it to be decided between employers and employees without sanctions, recognizing the need for flexibility. Enforcing the right to disconnect digitally requires innovative solutions, such as self-enforceable contracts and state intervention when necessary, to ensure that workers' rights keep pace with technological advancements.
