The current study is among the first to investigate the longitudinal link between four different types of after-hours work and employee health and well-being among employees with the opportunity to work from home. Our results suggest that working long daily work hours and late evenings is linked to reduced detachment from work and increased work–home conflict beyond what can be explained by related types of after-hours work. Furthermore, our results suggest that quick returns are related to increased burnout, but only among employees with below-average work-time control.
