I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn’t say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.

    In the USA, work doesn’t end at 5, and there’s always homework. That’s where your proposal goes wrong.

        Bingo. I quite like my job and my boss. Our agreement (his idea) is that if I do any work at home, I get paid overtime for it and I round up to the next hour no matter what.

        I don’t go looking for work to do at home but if a client calls it doesn’t bother me a bit.

      I’m off the clock when I leave my place of business. Unless you own your own, or you’re a creative, stop doing free work at home.
