Abstract
Engaging artificial intelligence systems in employment relations, combined with the growing popularity of new home office or on-call work models, is an increasingly common phenomenon. Ironically, however, this phenomenon does not cause an increase in an employee's leisure time but, on the contrary, presupposes his continued availability for work.
In response to this phenomenon, the so-called right to disconnect has been established in foreign legislation, which, among other things, aims to clearly define the boundary between working time and employee's rest period. The constitution of the right to disconnect currently appears to be a possible instrument for reconciling family and working life even in the Czech legal environment.
