Employers expect workers to be available after hours

What is the latest time that you would feel comfortable to call your employee about a work issue?

While the majority of employers are fine with their staff starting their days later, in return they’re looking for flexibility over when they wind down for the night. Because of their relaxed attitude to attendance, many bosses are now comfortable with calling after hours. 80 percent say that they think it’s acceptable to call staff in the evening.

French bosses are the most considerate when it comes to calling and stop earlier than employers in other nations: the average French cut-off time is 6:57 p.m. By contrast nearly half (48.2 percent) of British bosses have no problem calling after 7 p.m., and in Ireland the average too-late-to-call time is 7:36 p.m. Hate to be employees of the 1.4 percent of bosses globally who have no issue with calling after midnight!
