urgent work calls, texts, and emails often tend to spoil an employee's personal break or vacation. To tackle this problem, an Indian firm has introduced a new clause in their

company policy that makes their staff liable for a fine worth Rs. 1 lakh if ​​they're caught disturbing co-workers on leave. The clause is adapted to address the important
