I would do something similar to the Joel Test.
1. Can employees apply for sick leave without evidence?
2. Is more than 90% of annual leave approved?
3. Do you allow paternity leave?
4. Is it okay for the median employee to ignore questions after sundown, before sunrise, or on weekends and public holidays?
5. Are people "on call" for less than half the month?
6. Does the median employee commute less than 15 hours a week?
7. If laid off, is the median employee given enough compensation to cover for the interview period when hiring? e.g. if living costs are $10k per month, and the average employee interviews for 4 months, the compensation should be at least $40k.
The reason for this is because sometimes people have to stay within certain lines. Like some people prefer working at night or weekends. Some jobs are late night shifts; someone has to take care of the satellites at night too. So sometimes it's okay, this is the norm.
But I think there are clear lines that everyone agrees on. If you're scoring less than a 4 on this, maybe you have low work-life balance.
