This is the law in many parts of the world, and their economies seem to have not collapsed.
Haney thinks the bill is already being misconstrued and said that it would only require that companies be transparent about their expectations for working hours. Employers would still have the freedom to dictate their policy, which could include that employees be available around-the-clock, he said.

- BenFranklin100 3y agoIf that clause is true, then there is no point. All an employer has to do is insert a boilerplate phrase in the offer letter to the effect that the employer reserves the right to contact salaried employees outside normal working hours. Done deal. This bill is totally for show.
- kelnos 3y agoCertainly some prospective employees won't have the freedom to pick and choose, but at least then it's there up front, and I can decline to work for such places. I mean, really. Like, I would be annoyed at -- but sympathetic toward -- a company that has a reasonable work-hours policy but isn't 100% perfect at adhering to it. But a company that -- by stated policy -- says "all your time is ours and you get none for yourself"? No thanks, would never work for you.
