Bill > HB2133

This bill, known as the Right to Disconnect Act, establishes that employees have the right to ignore communications from their employer during their "nonworking hours," which are defined as times outside of their scheduled work shifts and are to be determined by a written agreement between the employer and employee. However, employers are permitted to contact employees during these nonworking hours in cases of an "emergency," meaning an unforeseen situation that threatens individuals, disrupts operations, or causes damage, or to communicate scheduling changes within a 24-hour period. The bill also outlines that an employee can file a complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry if they experience a "pattern of violation," which is defined as at least three documented instances of an employer disregarding these rights, and such complaints may be referred to the Attorney General if appealed.
