A recent dispute at ABC news raised the question about when checking email on one's smartphone after work should constitute working overtime.
A recent dispute at ABC news raised the question about when checking email on one's smartphone after work should constitute working overtime. ABC's news division had presented three writers with a waiver to sign stating that they would not be compensated for checking their company-issued smartphones after work. The writers agreed they they should not be paid for a late-night check of their email, but they felt that if they were writing material or scheduling guest appearances from home, they should be paid for that work.
Do you agree with ABC's conclusion that checking emails is not an example of overtime work that should be compensated? In the 24/7 technology age that we live in, how should companies approach the work-life balance? Is giving employees a base salary without overtime options fair to modern day workers?
