Right to disconnect
Employers may be surprised to learn that, whether they are aware of it or not, they could already have violated provisions of the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”).[1] As of June 2, 2022, employers who employed 25 or more employees on January 1, 2022 must have a written policy on “disconnecting from work”, which has been termed in the media as the ‘right to disconnect’.
