All workers have 'right to disconnect' from today

The right to switch off from work, in force from today, is part of the Government's commitment to create more flexible family-friendly working arrangements, including working from home and more flexible hours. 

All workers will have the 'right to disconnect' from today as the Tánaiste signs a new code of conduct to give people a better work-life balance.

Leo Varadkar is also inviting the public to give their view on putting the right to request remote working into law.
