Can my employer call me at anytime?

Question: Can my employer call me at anytime?

Answer: Your boss should only be calling you during normal operating hours and not after hours. If your boss or other co-workers are calling you after hours or on weekends, you must bring this up to a higher supervisor.
In order to maintain smooth relationships with co-workers you should work within the "normal" operating hours of the office.
Some people are under the mistaken impression that because you work at home, you are available whenever they feel that it is convenient.
To avoid problems from the beginning of a telecommuting arrangement, have it specified in your Agreement exactly when you can be called.
Freelancers should also set limits on when they can be reached and what the methods of contact are.
