The right to disconnect has been in the media a lot. But if we look behind the headlines, what impact is it actually going to have? The new laws give employees a limited right to ignore work-related contact outside of working hours. This right is limited by what is reasonable.

The use of contracting arrangements is widespread; however,
around the world, we are seeing trends suggesting this type of work
arrangement may become more restricted, higher cost or higher risk
