many people who work from home have flexible work hours (they can decide if to work in the evening or morning) and so they need to be reachable at any time, even it it might be off hour
Kinda. I set my office hours in outlook, so people see if I’m available.
I mostly don’t actually work at unusual times. But I can, if necessary. What’s more important is that I don’t answer work calls outside my hours, unless it’s one specific co-worker or I know in advance that a certain thing may require my attention.

I have flexible hours. What it means is not that I’m reachable around the clock, but that I decide when I work and am reachable.
i wonder if this means you tell work ahead as to what time you’re reachable

Either this or there are defined “core hours” where everyone must be available.
No. If they are expected to be reachable for 24 hours they need to be paid 24 for 24 hours
