    ummmmm yes please?? thedailywhat: Making Money Working From Home of the Day: Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has signed into law a bill allowing employees to request overtime pay for work emails answered from home. The legislation recognizes emails sent to employees by their employers as “direct orders.” Responding to those orders after work hours would therefore constitute overtime. With the prevalence of smartphones and their role in conducting business, Brazil’s new law may set a precedent for other countries. Some companies, including Volkswagen, are preemptively reacting by announcing plans to stop sending emails to employees outside of regular business hours. [ap / tvnz.]
