This could be a great idea, but also wouldn’t it be considered working off the clock? Using non-paid time of the employee to read the messages? And what about people who have plans that get charged for messages?

I’m just wondering if this has been thought all the way through.....

The messages come to our government email, so we would be on the clock when read them.

Unless we peek at our phones during off duty time, which is on us.

i have no idea what you’re talking about ... email would be sent only to official FedGov email accounts and read only on official FedGov equipment ... exactly similar to the way such is done by every large corporation ...

Are you a government employee? Just wondering, because you write like a government employee.

If they all return to their offices to work, as he has ordered, they can read their emails at their desks. Personell with jobs involving travel are issued a government cell phone.
