He was a freelance contractor. Being available basically all the time is part of the job.

I worked as a freelance contractor for years. Being available is not part of the job, in fact not having to be available at specific times, aside from occasional planned meetings, is one of the major perks of the job.

If I was expected to be available all the time, you can be damned sure I would have expected to be paid by the hour for that.
