English term or phrase: Right to Disconnect
Definition from TermCord IATE:
"A regulation from the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs to regulate remote working. EU Parliament calls for: Employers should not require workers to be available outside their working time and co-workers should refrain from contacting colleagues for work purposes. EU countries should ensure that workers who invoke their right to disconnect are protected from victimisation and other repercussions and that there are mechanisms in place to deal with complaints or breaches of the right to disconnect. Remote professional learning and training activities must be counted as work activity and must not take place during overtime or days off without adequate compensation."

Example sentence(s):
  • Staying connected round the clock has started taking a toll on workers. Research findings show that after months of homeworking, employees are now showing signs of fatigue, burnout, depression and health disorders. The boundary between work and home life has become blurred, leading to excessive encroachment in people’s private lives. Employees are baffled with a ‘stream of pings’ overtaking their personal space. This has brought to the fore demands related to the right to disconnect. The Wire
  • Finding the right balance won’t be easy, especially as some people prefer to work flexible hours and find it doesn’t impact their work-life balance. “I would say, the law in creating a right to disconnect could help but it won't be effective if people do not have the discipline,” Malanda said. Training will be key to ensuring any future right is protected, as will monitoring. Delano
  • Labour MEP Alex Agius Saliba’s report on the right to disconnect comes at the tapering of the shock pandemic that changed lives in 2020 and sent everyone ‘home’. Now working from home, flexi- and telework makes the always-on culture a fact of life. Malta Today

Právo odpojiť sa od práce


Definition from europarl.europa.eu:
Právo odpojiť sa vo voľnom čase od digitálnych pracovných zariadení bez negatívnych dôsledkov.

Example sentence(s):
  • „Je sobota ráno, užívate si víkend s rodinou a dostanete e-mail. A hoci viete, že je to váš súkromný čas, čas, ktorý venujete rodine, čas na oddych, aj tak máte pocit, že musíte odpovedať.“ Parlament požaduje, aby bol voľný čas pracovníkov chránený pred pracovnými hovormi, správami a e-mailmi. Poslanci vyzývajú Komisiu, aby vypracovala pravidlá regulujúce digitálne pracovné nástroje a umožňujúce zamestnancom odpojiť sa mimo ich pracovného času. Ak už existovala potreba práva na odpojenie sa bez znášania následkov, ešte viac ju zdôraznila pandémia COVID-19. „Načasovanie je dnes ideálnejšie, pretože prevahu telepráce, prevahu práce cez inteligentné zariadenia a flexibilnej práce pociťujeme práve teraz.“ V roku 2020 začal z domu pracovať viac ako jeden z troch Európanov. To znamená, že hranice medzi profesionálnym a súkromným životom sa stierajú. Ľudia pracujúci z domu často pracujú dlhšie a ich pracovný čas je nepravidelnejší. Byť vždy v dosahu môže ovplyvniť rovnováhu medzi pracovným a súkromným životom, ako aj fyzické a duševné zdravie. V súčasnosti žiadna legislatíva EÚ výslovne neustanovuje, že Európania majú právo na odpojenie sa bez následkov. Poslanci chcú ukončiť kultúru, ktorá núti pracovníkov „byť vždy na príjme“, a dosiahnuť, aby sa právo „odpojiť sa“ stalo základným právom. - multimedia.europarl.europa.eu
