Portugal recently introduced a law that bans employers from contacting workers outside of their regular hours by phone, message or email
The country recently introduced a law that bans employers from contacting workers outside of their regular hours by phone, message or email."The employer must respect the privacy of the worker," including periods of rest and family time, the new law stipulates. Any violation, it continues, constitutes a"serious" offense and could result in a fine. A similar rule gave French workers the right to ignore after-hours business emails in 2017.
They should reimburse workers for any additional expenses, including any increase in bills such as electricity and gas, they might incur while working from home.The law was passed by the Portuguese parliament last Friday and came into effect the following day.Portugal has been led by a socialist government for six years, though Prime Minister Antonio Costa could be pushed out of power early next year.
