劳动者隐性加班的法律规制

Legal Regulation of Workers’ Hidden Overtime Work

摘要: 随着数字经济的发展，即时通信工具和远程办公软件的日益普及，工作沟通逐步地突破了时间和空间的界限，这使得工作时间和工作场所更灵活化，在一定程度上为劳动者创造了更多的便利条件。但也客观上导致了隐性加班的泛滥。“24小时待命”“永远在线”成为一种新型的企业文化，这使得劳动者被迫陷入加班的泥潭，消融了工作和生活的边界。基于这一现实问题，本文皆在厘清隐性加班的法律内涵与认定标准，同时结合司法实践中的典型案例，深入剖析案件中所反映出的隐性加班核心问题，并针对性的提出规制隐性加班、保障劳动者合法权益的法律对策。以期为数字时代劳动者权益的有效保护提供理论参考与实践路径。

Abstract: With the development of the digital economy and the increasing popularity of instant messaging tools and remote working software, work communication has gradually broken through the boundaries of time and space, making working hours and places more flexible and creating more convenient conditions for workers to a certain extent. However, this has objectively led to the proliferation of hidden overtime. The “24-hour on call” and “always online” have become a new type of corporate culture, forcing workers into the quagmire of overtime and blurring the boundaries between work and life. Based on this reality, this article aims to clarify the legal connotation and identification criteria of hidden overtime, and deeply analyze the core issues reflected in typical cases in judicial practice. At the same time, it puts forward targeted legal countermeasures to regulate hidden overtime and protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers. It is hoped that this will provide theoretical references and practical paths for the effective protection of workers’ rights and interests in the digital age.
