There are only certain classes of employees where those rules don't apply. Most companies just ignore that though. Well, Dave, that’s technically not correct.

Wage and hour rules do not apply to the kind of workers who carry blackberry's. Just as I have the right to spend a few minutes commenting on this blog while I am at work, my "employer" has the right to email me on Sunday and expect a timely response. Or not. It's all negotiable. If either party doesn't like it, they can quit or fire. This seems ludicrous. Wage and hour rules do not apply to the kind of workers who carry blackberry’s.
