Abstract
In the current companies and world, more and more digitalized, there are concerns about the situation of the permanent connected professional. The health effects, the long working hours without payment and the impossibility of conciliating the family and labor life, that are consequences of the wrongly usage of the electronic devices, have been repeatedly reported and has caused the “Digital disconnection Right” inclusion in our law. However, the legal requirements are few and have left its precision into the hands of the social agents. If we really want the legal estimation to be more than an anecdote, what has been criticized in several occasions by the doctrine, it would be needed to include legal measures and effective policies about the working hours in order to facilitate its working.
