It seems the underlying problem is that people who generally produce reasonable work productivity using email also likely are employed as salaried, overtime-exempt. I don't think it is reasonable to craft a law saying you cannot communicate with your employees after hours. I do think it is reasonable to update the overtime exemption rules to allow for reasonable "time off" and that after-hour emails need to be compensated somehow, if the reading and responding to that email is required as part of your job. EDIT: And such regulation should also require disclosing to the employee that they are not required to read and respond to emails if they are not being so compensated. I am also an executive, but definitely not to the level of your profile.
