There actually is a law in France that forbids workers to check mail after hours. It's something :).
"New French law establishing workers’ “right to disconnect” goes into effect today. The law requires companies with more than 50 employees to establish hours when staff should not send or answer emails. The goals of the law include making sure employees are fairly paid for work, and preventing burnout by protecting private time."

- mc32 7y agoThis is one of the things I’d like to see many other countries adapt as part of labor law harmonization. People plugged in and responsible 24x7 is silly. I was talking to a dir of physical security at some big company with tens of thousands of employees. He’s the guy. He’s the one to make the call on an emergency be it 9AM or be it 2:30AM. That’s nuts!
