On Tuesday, this law came into existence, and this includes around 65,000 federal officials can show that they are unavailable after the working hours of their jobs with a valid reason.
There are some of the methods that have been made by the government they wanted to expand the right towards the private-sector workers.

During a recent survey related to remote working, over 84 percent of the residents, 40 percent of them are in managerial positions, mentioned that they wanted to resume work from home for more than two days or more than a week post-pandemic.
De Sutter stated if the individuals don’t have the right to disconnect. “The result will be stressful, and this is also a real disease for today.”
