The purpose of this article is to research issues of ensuring the right to disconnect in the context of providing for reasonable daily and weekly working hours, its impact on work–life balance. Article’s main body. The article emphasizes that the new French law means a small but important victory of human rights over IT, and a victory of workers’ rights and rights to privacy over IT technologies and smart communications. This article analyzes how that victory will influence further developments in labour law when speaking of its online element, remains to be seen. Conclusions and prospects for the development. It is important to note that trade unions which see themselves as guardians of France’s highly protected workplace and working week of 35 hours have long demanded action. However, the new “right to disconnect”, part of a much larger and controversial reform of French labour law, foresees no sanction for companies which fail to define it.
