If you expect them to be available outside of working hours, the hours they’re available should be paid, and therefore are working hours.
There is no communication necessary for work that cannot take place during working hours. What you’re actually arguing for is free labor.
No, sometimes you just need to tell an employee something, and then have them verify they understand the information. In my opinion that does not qualify as work.
Is the something you need to tell them related to work?
And is the verification you reference something you expect them to provide as an employee?
I should hope you are able to make the connection without having your hand held further.

That's work. and all work must legally be compensated for.
