The Right to Disconnect Act establishes the rights of employees in Pennsylvania regarding communication from their employers during nonworking hours. Under this act, employers with 75 or more employees are required to create a workplace policy that allows employees to disconnect from employer communications outside of their assigned work hours. Nonworking hours are to be defined through a written agreement between the employer and employee, although employers can still reach out during these hours for scheduling changes within a 24-hour period or in cases of emergencies.

Additionally, the act provides a mechanism for employees to file complaints with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry if they experience a pattern of violations of this right. If a complaint is appealed, it may be referred to the Attorney General for further action. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its enactment.
