"Ministers are expected to axe plans to give people a right to switch off outside work hours, reports have suggested."
"Labour had previously said the policy...would ensure that working from home does not become homes turning into 24/7 offices."
"However, that has now changed, and ministers are expected to say in the coming week that the policy has been dropped."
"A Government source told the newspaper the right to switch off is dead."
The article discusses the expected move by ministers to withdraw a proposed policy that would allow workers to disconnect from work-related communication outside of office hours. Initially a part of Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's plans to improve employment rights, the policy aimed to prevent 24/7 work expectations exacerbated by remote work. Reports indicate that this proposal wonât be included in the ongoing Employment Bill, highlighting a significant departure from previous commitments regarding worker autonomy and rights.
