Again to my point, there is a lot of "I" in your comment. What this legislation means is that on aggregate, the politicians sponsoring are hearing from their constituents that they are being overworked via expectations of off-hours communication. This might not be the case with you.

> If I am paid on salary, I would rather just be trusted to meet deliverable dates than have to worry about clocking in. Why does this government need to butt in?

This legislation...does not affect you then. All it's saying is that the employer cannot require you to respond to something on 9pm on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday unless you are paid for it. You are still free to do so, it's just that your employer can't fire you if you don't. This seems sort of reasonable to me.
