So the issue isn't in-work hours vs off-work hours (as that line is fuzzy), but who owns the copyright. The above link [1] is for the automatic process where Google still owns the copyright (hence no AGPL or non-Commercial stuff). This works for 99% of stuff and is easy. There's a second process called IARC [2] which lets the employee retain the copyright. It's not automatic but allows for AGPL, non-commercial, or proprietary contributions. We also have a few AGPL projects that were whitelisted due to COVID-19 [3].
