LINK Government workers in Belgium no longer have to answer calls, emails after hours : NPR

Starting Tuesday, thousands of federal civil servants in Belgium will no longer have to answer calls or emails from their bosses outside of working hours.

That's thanks to a new law granting some 65,000 government workers "the right to disconnect" and, in the process, adding Belgium to the growing list of European countries taking steps toward greater work-life balance.
