California is on the verge of becoming the first state to enact a 'right to disconnect' bill, spearheaded by Assemblymember Matt Haney. This legislation aims to protect workers' off-the-clock time by prohibiting employers from sending non-emergency work communications during employees' personal time. The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Matt Haney, outlines clear expectations regarding working hours, ensuring workers have uninterrupted personal and family time. Critics, however, argue that the bill could negatively impact fledgling companies and raise concerns about its applicability to remote workers.
HOLY MOLY, SF’s Matt Haney wants to chase more fledgling companies out of California. He’s a menace to the spirit of businesses. How will this law deal with remote workers and work from home? California law would give the right to disconnect from work https://t.co/KNoBwAJNPj

Isn't it odd that @JConrBOrtega , who's running for supervisor in San Francisco, gets hit with @CommunityNotes over this description of Harm Reduction, when California housing law says nearly the same thing? @elonmusk https://t.co/7O7YUSsg9o https://t.co/BTP3YVNOxo
A bill from S.F. assemblymember Matt Haney would spell out when employers could bother employees during time off and require clear expectations about working hours. https://t.co/SaSKUZf7kM
Late-night messages from work are never fun. But a new law proposed by Assemblymember Matt Haney would make off-the-clock emails illegal if they aren’t emergencies. https://t.co/ScuqXV9IWY
The bill mandates employers to clearly outline working hours and guarantees workers uninterrupted personal and family time outside of those hours. https://t.co/PT1t3fug0I https://t.co/PT1t3fug0I
