Right to Disconnect, Workers Mental Health, Legal Protection, Labor Law, Indonesia-FranceAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the regulation of the right to disconnect in France as an instrument for protecting workers' mental health and to identify the urgency of its regulation for workers in Indonesia. This study uses a normative legal method with statutory, comparative, and conceptual approaches through the examination of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials related to labor law, occupational safety and health, and the protection of workers' rights in the digital era. The findings show that France has explicitly regulated the right to disconnect in the Code du Travail as a form of protection for workers' rest time, private life, and mental health. Meanwhile, Indonesia does not yet have an explicit regulation that recognizes workers' right to refuse work or communication outside working hours, so protection against psychosocial risks such as stress, work exhaustion, and burnout has not been fully guaranteed. The recommendation from this study is the need to establish a specific regulation on the right to disconnect in Indonesia as part of labor law reform, while maintaining a balanced consideration of both workers' and employers' interests.
