If you have a good long term client that insists on meeting at 4am, will you be there or not?

Yes.

And that would be true if I am: (1) the boss, or (2) an employee who has a signed agreement that says I work from 8:00-5:00 every day.

Again, you don’t have a signed agreement with your best client to meet at certain hours, why are you there?

An employees is personal services incorporated. His boss is his only client.

You have a choice, so does the employee.
