A new law, called El Khomri law, passed on August 8th, 2016 in France providing a right to disconnect for employees.
Such right is entered into force on January 1st, 2017
According to the law, it belongs to the employers and the unions to negotiate this new right to determine its modalities of application and of control. Such negotiation should take place in companies having at least 50 employees and should provide for the implementation of mechanisms of regulation regarding the use of the new technologies in order to ensure the compliance with rest times and holidays and the familial and personal life of the employees.
