If it important work question they yes . If you the only one who knows what to do or to explain what you did. But if it not important issues or they call just to give you an earful on some thing that could wait then I'd say no. Some companies like to keep there employees up to speed and updated on the work. And some will call to let you know what need be done at work when you return. . I'm one those bosses who will call to tell my employees where to go when they return to work. But I'm one that want save time and stick to deadline. I may need be out in the field early and need a employee at some place else. For me I loose money on dead time. If I didn't call to setup where you got to go for a job then you show up sit around half the day until I get back. Or you drive to work I call you at work tell you where to go then I've wasted an hour or two Labour time dead time. . So yes if it's truly work related they can call. I haven't had any complaints from any my employees about be calling them. . It better than me leaving a note saying go home no work today because I'm in business meeting all day and need talk to you about your next job. .
If you working a minimum wage job and do same thing everyday and you unhappy that your boss calls you. There are allot of minimum wage jobs out there. But if you a crew leader , staff leader , Forman, or management then expect phone calls or a specialist skill trained work getting paid above minimum wage you'll get calls. Best thing to do is write out a daily report of job you did. If call about certain thing you should know what maybe ask or the boss call about. Write out what be needed and leave on bosses desks. If service work or jobs that take you to different places locations, then that when I call. If I can't get a hold of an employee to tell them where to go and about what need be done. Then that when I leave a note on door saying go home no work for you today without pay. As those dead time add up cost me lots of money in my type of business. . If some one don't want be call at home then find simple job that the boss never need to call you. One that doesn't have schedule changes and requires same thing of you everyday. Sorry but it does cost allot of money to run a business. An up and up legal businesses who has employees. . Long hours if to do it the right way. .. btw are you a employee or employer.???
