AI Summary
This bill would require public and private employers to establish a workplace policy that provides employees the right to disconnect from employer communications during non-working hours, except in cases of emergency or scheduling changes. The bill defines "non-working hours" as time before and after an employee's assigned work hours, and the "right to disconnect" as the employee's ability to ignore communications from the employer during those non-working hours. It would authorize employees to file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner for a pattern of violations, which would be punishable by a civil fine. The bill also makes a non-substantive change to an existing provision regarding the administration of duties by public officers.
