Techniques disclosed herein integrate communication mechanisms of a business or government with time management/calendar systems having knowledge of an employee's work schedule and geo-location, with a set of rules usable to selectively store and/or forward work related communications to an employee, while enabling overrides for emergencies, preventing employee self-exploitation, and monitoring for compliance. When a work related communications is sent towards an employee, the system receives the communication, and evaluates the communication based on the employee's work schedule, geo-location, and any other restrictions within the set of rules. When it is determined that the communications should be restricted from being sent, and no override to the restrictions is identified, then the communication is scheduled for transmission to the employee at a later time. Overrides to the restrictions are logged and monitored for compliance to company or public policy. |

1. A network device, comprising:
one or more non-transitory data stores for storing a recipient's work schedule and communication rules; and a processor that performs actions, comprising:
receiving a communication that is directed to a recipient;using the stored recipient's work schedule and communication rules, determining if a restriction exists indicating that the communication is to be constrained from being sent to the recipient during off-hours of the recipient's work schedule;when a restriction is determined to sending the communication, further searching the communication rules to determine whether there is an override to the restriction; andwhen an override to the restriction is determined, logging an override event, and sending the communication to the recipient during the recipient's off-hours. |
