EU Parliament: resolution voted to recognise the 'right to disconnect' as a fundamental right.
Smart working cannot be without rules. Outside working hours, the right to disconnect, that is to say to switch off digital devices without this entailing any penalty for the worker in terms of career and remuneration, must be fully guaranteed.
This was stated by the European Parliament's Employment Ccommittee in a resolution adopted by 31 votes in favour, 6 against and 18 abstentions.
The European Parliament's Work and Social Affairs Commission document goes further: the right to disconnection should be considered a 'fundamental right'.
As it is not currently provided for by EU laws, MEPs call on the EU Commission to propose an EU Directive on the Right to Disconnect.
