The Workplace Relations Commission's (WRC’s) Code of Practice provides guidance on best practice to organisations and their employees on the Right to Disconnect. It is not a question of organisations adopting the WRC Code of Practice but a question of working up their own tailored policy. As stated in the Code of Practice, employers should engage proactively with employees and/or their trade union or other employees’ representatives to develop a Right to Disconnect Policy that takes account of the particular needs of the organisation and its workforce.
Discussions are underway among several Departments - including my Department - to develop cross-Departmental guidance in order to support individual Departments to develop their Right to Disconnect policies.
