SHRM and the Garden State Council-SHRM oppose New Jersey's 'right to disconnect' bill, claiming it could undermine workplace culture by applying a 'one-size-fits-all' approach.
Assemblywoman Heather Simmons stated the bill seeks a balance, providing structure to improve employer-employee relationships while aiding businesses in recruiting a workforce focused on personal lives.
In various countries, laws exist that protect employees' after-hours time, but in the U.S., such initiatives are still emerging and largely unregulated, reflecting a cultural shift.
The concept of the right to disconnect aims to protect workers from the invasive nature of technology, but its implementation in the U.S. lacks federal support.
