Abstract

Since the end of 2018, Spain has regulated the right to digital disconnection in the workplace. The exponential increase in the exchange of labor information using digital media or tools, such as mobile phones, emails, tablets, videoconferences or instant messaging applications, is increasing, as they make it easier to do work from anywhere whenever. More, due to the preponderance given to remote work, unavoidable due to the COVID-19 situation. In this context, the article that presents the body of judicial doctrine pertaining to this labor law is studied; scarce in its normative regulation and that is being clarified and interpreted as labor conflicts arise derived from the permanent connectivity of the workers.
