What we have here is a communications problem.

Brazilian workers who answer work emails via smart phones outside their regular office hours are now entitled to overtime payments. On the one hand that seems fair enough, but what's to stop workers from conspiring to only ever email each other during out-of-office hours?

But hey, am I the only genius who sees a hot opp for a hot app here?


"It's called Konnect&Kollect®.
Pedro and I email each other,
the app clocks the connection,
pads it by whatever I figure
I can get away with, calculates
the overtime, and then sends
it to the payroll computer."
