Trade union Prospect is calling for the government to grant employees a legally binding “right to disconnect” that would ban bosses from “routinely emailing or calling” outside of set working hours. This comes after a similar labour law took effect in France in 2017.

With work-life boundaries having been tested by the pandemic, we would like to hear from you about how work emails have affected your life.

Share your experiences

Would you be in favour of such a law? Does your employer have a system or policy for out-of-office hours? Have you had success in establishing your own?
