Your boss could soon be fined for contacting you after hours under new legislation in California. If the bill becomes law, any employer that violates it could face a fine of at least $100. At least 10 other countries including France, Canada and Portugal have laws supporting workers' "right to disconnect." The bill only regulates employers in California, so remote workers in California reporting to out-of-state employers are not counted in the bill. Instead, he hopes it encourages employers to have "transparent, upfront" conversations with employees about when and how they work.

Work is part of our identity here in a way that people from other countries find at turns fascinating and pathological. The bill would aim to ensure that people aren’t pinged with work emails, texts or calls outside their established work hours, with notable exceptions for emergencies or scheduling issues. If the boss intrudes on your non-work window three times, you can report them and the state could impose fines starting at $100. No one likes pausing Succession to respond to a 9pm request, but the guilt of ignoring it and wondering whether your boss will be mad at you is also, like, not fun.

But a San Francisco lawmaker wants to help curb the constant ringing and pinging that his region helped create. Emails, texts and other work communication could also be put off until workers are back on the clock. Mr. Haney, a Democrat, got the idea from Australia’s new “right to disconnect” law, to be implemented later this year. It will allow workers to reject “unreasonable” professional communication outside of their regular workday. The idea originated in France and has spread in various forms to countries including Canada, Italy, Belgium and the Philippines.

The Ahyi Seamount is one of a long string of submarine seamounts at the northern edge of the Northern Mariana Islands. Ahyi seamount is a large conical submarine volcano. “There are no local monitoring stations near Ahyi Seamount, which limits our ability to detect and characterize volcanic unrest there,” the agency said.
