What was once interpreted as a simple gesture of courtesy\u2014respecting rest periods\u2014has now become a real legal obligation for companies. More importantly, failure to comply can have unpleasant legal and financial consequences.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A recent example comes from Galicia, where the High Court of Justice has condemned a company for sending emails to an employee who was on sick leave. The messages may not have required an immediate response, nor did they contain a threatening tone, but the simple fact of receiving them, while on temporary disability and experiencing a health problem, was understood as an undue intrusion into her private life and her right to recover in peace. The result was compensation and a reminder to all companies: digital disconnection is not optional.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-02b5eb5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"02b5eb5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4cb8fdf\" data-id=\"4cb8fdf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a96b15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9a96b15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7184437 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7184437\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What digital disconnection really means<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-095392a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"095392a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-060fae4\" data-id=\"060fae4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d8dd11 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d8dd11\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When we talk about this right, we are not just referring to the fact that workers should not have to answer emails outside of working hours.
