Right to Disconnect: Belgium has recently joined the list of countries where ‘Right to Disconnect’ has been implemented. In such a situation, this question is arising in everyone’s mind that what is this happening? So let us tell you that now in Belgium, employees will have to work only four days a week.
Now employees in Belgium will also get these rights
Everywhere in the world, employees are at risk of losing their jobs if they keep their phones switched off for even a few days, but according to this new law implemented in Belgium, civil servants can do their official work through email, phone during office hours without fear of any action. Will be allowed to close after. Clearly there will be no pressure on them to exchange communications after office hours. By doing this no one will lose their job. This is called right to disconnect.
France is the first country to implement such a law
France is the first country to implement this law. This law was implemented there in 2016 itself. Under which you can also switch off your phone and other devices after the office hours are over. However, companies with more than 50 employees are required to issue a Charter of Good Conduct, which clearly states the hours during which staff will not exchange email messages.
Is this law possible in every field?
Now the question also arises whether this law is possible in every area. So let us tell you that fixed working hours are not possible in areas like public transport, medical industry, work of law enforcement agencies and media. It is not even possible to implement this law there. If it is implemented in India, it will greatly benefit the employees and there will be a change in their lives, but currently no work has been done for it or in other words, there is doubt whether this law will be implemented in India or not.
