A domestic worker faces an emergency requiring outside communication during working time. The employer refuses all access, arguing that Section 8 permits communication only during free time even in emergencies. Which answer is correct?
  1. An emergency can never justify access during work.
  2. The worker must first complete a full year of service.
  3. Section 8 expressly requires emergency access even during working time; it does not by itself make every call free of charge.
  4. The employer may erase every communication right by an oral rule.
  5. The statute guarantees access only after employment ends.
