If you're hourly, that totally makes sense, but if you're salary then in a lot of places in the world they kind of semi-own your ass and you do have to check messages outside of "work hours" since those technically don't exist for you. Some companies might enforce the standard 8-5, Monday through Friday and encourage only working 40 hours a week (and those are good companies), but legally they don't have to limit it to just that on salary.
I've only never heard of that shit from the US. Hourly is hardly a thing elsewhere, unless for delivery drivers and similar.
