France has said that workers do NOT have to deal with work emails during time off. The question is, why is this headline news? NONE of us should respond to work emails during our off hours. Working all the time makes people CRAZY.
I almost NEVER deal with ANY emails during off hours.
I am grateful for my iPhones email capabilities as there are some people who like using dirty tricks, and an email warning of a dirty trick is useful. Luckily, I can usually judge when a dirty trick is coming at me, so I check my emails during such critical times.
IMHO, in California, you have to be paid for FOUR HOURS each time your employer requires you to deal with an email during your time off. IMHO, for hourly employees, an email that you have to deal with is exactly the same as calling someone into work. And for that, you must be paid for a minimum of four hours.
WE ARE NOT SLAVES. Do not allow your employer to take advantage of your addiction to techie toys.
