I don’t buy it. This law doesn’t prevent competition outside working hours. The employee who wants to be seen to go “above and beyond” doesn’t need a time-specific prompting message to decide to work an extra 15 minutes. The boss can easily make it known that those extra 15 minutes would be rewarded, either by dropping an email at 4:59pm, or using management clichés like “going the extra mile” and “taking one for the team”, or worse, manipulative non-verbal techniques that give advantage to in-groups and create barriers to out-groups.
