I'm sorry but I don't think its that crazy to want your employees to communicate with you outside of working hours.
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.
If it doesn't qualify as work then they can refuse. Maybe they don't want to communicate with you outside the job and you have no right to force it.
