Abstract

Compared with the traditional office mode, telecommuting and online office mode have become more and more common in recent years, such as online office through mobile phones, computers and other electronic equipment, and can receive and complete work tasks anytime and anywhere in the non-fixed work place. This work mode, on the one hand, can improve the work efficiency of workers. It is more flexible and convenient; On the other hand, it is easy to cause the overlap of working hours and rest time of workers, and it is difficult to distinguish the boundary between work and life, which extends the working time limit, and it is difficult to identify overtime, and it is difficult for workers to "offline" from work, thus infringing on the right to rest of workers. Therefore, the "off-line right" of workers should be protected by legislation. However, at present, the provisions of the "off-line right" of workers in our country are not perfect, and there are still many problems, such as the scope of the subject of rights is not clear, and dispute relief is difficult. Based on the status quo and existing problems of the legal protection of laborers' offline right in China, learning from foreign experience, according to the reality of our country, this puts forward relevant suggestions for the improvement of legal protection, such as adding the relevant provisions of laborers' offline right in China's Labor Law.
