Can an employer contact you on your day off?

Question

Accepted Answer

Intruding into private time (e.g. when an employee is at home or on leave) isn’t usually reasonable. There are times when your employer can reasonably contact you, e.g. when:
it’s an emergency, you’re on call, working at home, on sick or paid garden leave, or suspended;
you haven’t come to work and haven’t told your employer why, nor given a good reason, or you’re suspended;
there’s something important you need to know, e.g. to let you be properly consulted as part of a change process while you’re on annual holidays or parental leave.
