As part of its new budget, the federal government has announced a "right to disconnect" legislation for federally regulated employees. The proposed legislation attempts to provide employees with more of a work and personal life distinction. Much like the provincial right to disconnect legislation, however, there are questions regarding the enforcement of this proposal. What are employers obligated to implement in the workplace? 

Alex Lucifero, an employment lawyer and Managing Partner at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP  joined Newstalk 580 CFRA with Kristy Cameron to answer this question and discuss employee rights.
