I am wondering if any organizations allow home email access to their hourly staff. If so, do you pay them for the time spent reviewing home emails and if so, how do you document/track that time? If you don't pay them, how have you documented that you will not be paying them for time spent reviewing emails.
As an organization, we pay our nurses hourly and they receive overtime pay when appropriate. Nurses have requested that they would like the ability to have a read only email access to check emails at home because they don't have time during their shift. I am curious if other organizations do this and if so, how they do this. We currently do not allow any hourly staff to have home access unless they are in a work from home position (Transcriptionists, Coders, etc).
Thank you for any information you can provide.

This is Melanie from Holy Family Memorial. All of our email access is web-based, so all staff have the capability of viewing their email at home. We discourage it for hourly employees, and we don't require it (unless they work from home, like transcriptionists). There are guidelines built into the policy as well. We do not pay our staff for reading their email at home if they choose to do so.
