Summary/Abstract: The authors present how the directive on the right to be offline will be formulated by the European Parliament and the Council. They analyse the subject and scope of minimum requirements enabling employees to use digital tools in professional matters without disturbing the balance between offline work and rest. They discuss means of implementing the right to be offline and provide protection against unfavourable treatment of leisure by employers. The authors focus on the analysis of the right to be offline in the context of a task-based working time system, including practical problems of employing academic staff.
