Email me. If I seem it an emergency, I might answer. Keep in mind, my bar for emergencies is much higher than yours ever will be (unless physical harm to a human may occur, it’s not an emergency). When I go to bed, my phone goes to bed (aeroplane mode).

Emergency is they key word here that will be abused by those that have an issue with this rule.
If I’m at work and receive a call that my partner/child/family member was in a car accident, that’s an emergency. It is a rational and reasonable expectation that work understands I need a day or two (or more) to address this emergency.
Similarly if I’m at home and something with our widget affects a human life, that’s an emergency. But it’s also a one time emergency. If we produce widgets that result in emergencies then the next step is to hire/pay employees to cover widget emergencies.
As an invested employee I want the company to succeed. However if all I see is emergency after emergency. Failure to address emergencies. Or even false emergencies. Well then fuck off.
Employees have traditionally given a lot of slack in this area. Abuse by employers are what have caused these more official rulings.
