Work and pay
On-call duty changes the answer; see what to ask for in writing.
Pressure to answer messages outside working hours is common. Whether there is an obligation depends on on-call duty, the contract and the company's policy.
If you are on call, the employer may ask you to respond, and on-call duty is usually paid or compensated. Without on-call duty, answering outside your hours is not an obligation.
Ask for a written disconnect policy, record dates and times, and if the pressure continues contact the Labour Inspectorate.
