….some reflections…. The agreements so far analyzed provide insights to reflect on what needs to be the lines to be able to rethink how to meet the needs of workers, especially with regard to the protection of their psychophysical health. What has not been analyzed so far is the disconnection right that is among the innovations introduced on smart working. The diffusion of new digital technologies has recently led to deep reflection in the legislative system, so as to question a measure to protect so-called agile work. There is no longer a permanent job, not a single place of work during the same employment relationship, nor a fixed time. Many people prefer today to work for goals, phases and cycles and are therefore evaluated on productivity and achievement rather than based on parameters such as working hours and physical presence in business premises.
Mobility and employment change are no longer considered negative, but rather as a passage often needed to acquire new and greater skills. So we are in a scenario where work is already agile, even before a law recognizes it. In particular, the text proposed in draft law no. 2233, we are interested in art. 3 (Legislation of the Agile Work Method and Right of Disconnection) n. 7: "Employees are entitled to disconnection from technological equipment and computer work platforms in compliance with the agreed objectives and the terms of work performed by the medical practitioner as well as any available bundles of work without this having any effect on the continuation of the employment relationship or remuneration.”
