There is no New Statutory Right to Disconnect from Work in Condominiums (or in any other Industry in Ontario)

Discusses the "Right to Disconnect" law that came into effect in Ontario as part of the Working for Workers Act, 2021, aimed at improving work-life balance. The law requires employers with 25 or more employees to develop policies addressing disconnecting from work outside regular hours. However, the article clarifies that the law does not provide a right to disengage from work-related communications, but rather focuses on having policies in place. Condominiums are largely unaffected due to several reasons, including the low likelihood of meeting the 25-employee threshold. The article emphasizes the need for flexible approaches to disconnection principles, suggesting that employees are not expected to respond to non-urgent communications outside working hours. It also highlights common questions related to the implementation of disconnection policies.
