Can an employee opt-out? I don't mind when my boss contacts me after hours. I'm happy to jump on a serious issue in a timely manner, when needed. My boss has never abused this willingness and if he did I'd be happy to have a conversation with him about it myself. I don't need anybody else to intervene on my behalf.
- smnrchrds 5y ago> Can an employee opt-out? I am curious to know this for a different reason: if opt-out is possible, it will become a standard term in all employment contracts from now on, so this law might as well not exist. We know all too well from the cookie law that a law with opt-out turns completely useless before the ink is even dry.
- missedthecue 5y agoI agree, I don't mind getting contacted after hours
- Daishiman 5y agoYou can opt out in the same way that everyone opts out of legal protections: by doing whatever you want and not being a snitch about it. It works great when everyone's buddy-buddy and there's trust. It also gives you great leverage when things go south.
- kelnos 5y agoI hope not. Then "opting out" (wink wink) will become the standard, and employers won't hire you unless you "opt out".
- strathmeyer 5y agoYour employer can opt-out by paying you.
- malermeister 5y agoOther employees probably don't want you to be contacted after hours, as it sets the expectation that it's okay to contact them too. This is to protect them, not you.
