The "Workplace Employee Boundaries Act" aims to protect employees from being required to access or respond to work-related communications outside of their established work hours. Employers are prohibited from mandating that employees check communications during their off-hours unless the employee has voluntarily set specific hours of availability. Exceptions to this rule include emergencies declared by the government, urgent notices that need to be communicated to employees, and situations involving on-call employees who are compensated for their availability.

Additionally, the bill prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who exercise their rights under this act, including using automatic replies or signatures to indicate their unavailability. Employers cannot require employees to waive any protections granted by this act as a condition of employment, and any such waivers would be considered void. Violations can result in fines, compensation for affected employees, and mandatory professional development training for employers on workplace boundaries. The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity is tasked with investigating complaints and enforcing the provisions of this act.
