Can a employer call or text on an employee on their scheduled day off without compensation if it’s work related?

My girlfriend has asked her boss not to call or text her on her days off but she she does anyway. It usually relates to work but it’s never an emergency. She is employed in one state but the company is based out of another. From what I understand, the employer has to abide by its home state laws. She’s an hourly employee and an assistant manager.
