Kenya could soon give workers the ‘right to disconnect’

Cheaper internet and devices are pushing more of Kenya’s workforce online. But some Kenyans say this is disrupting work-life balance and eroding leisure time, so senators have proposed the Employment (Amendment) Bill. Under the law, any company of 10 or more people would have to agree an out-of-hours policy with staff. If workers are contacted after hours, they can either choose not to respond or demand compensation if they do. Employers who breach the law would face a fine. #disconnect #kenya #employers #workculture #afterhours #compensation
