Apologies if this has been covered, as I haven't followed this
thread from the beginning...

But wouldn't it work to define two contacts, each with the correct
*_notification_period for that method, and add them both to each
service?  Might need a contactgroup or two in there, but I'd think
it would work?

Ie:

define contact{
   contact_name                     bob-at-home
   .
   .
   service_notification_period      non-workhours
   service_notification_command     just-email-me
   .
   .
   }

define contact{
   contact_name                     bob-at-work
   .
   .
   service_notification_period      workhours
   service_notification_command     page-the-hell-out-of-me
   .
   .
   }


define contactgroup{
   contactgroup_name                split-notifications
   alias                            People who get emailed at home, paged
at work
   members                          bob-at-home,bob-at-work
   }
