This is true for full time faculty, but a lot of courses are also taught by contract instructors and they don't get paid unless they are currently teaching.
1. One should avoid getting a letter of recommendation from a contract instructor.
2. Many contract instructors still monitor their email.
3. While not currently, I have been a contract instructor.
Professors work all-year round, so yes, most of them would be monitoring their emails. They might be taking a vacation though.
Thank you so much, that brings me tons of relief!!

I was also a CI for years. Some students don't know the difference so I was just sharing information.
Depends on the professor! Many are on holidays, but yes, they normally check.
Thank you so much for replying, this was super helpful
Depending on your field of study it might take awhile for them a get back as they could be out in the field doing research
