Here's one way to do it:

Notifications during work hours:
define contact{
contact_name fredworkhours
alias Notifications to Fred during work hours
host_notification_period something
service_notification_period workhours
host_notification_options n
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
email fred at someserver
}

Notifications during non-work hours:
define contact{
contact_name frednonworkhours
alias Notifications to Fred outside of work hours
host_notification_period something
service_notification_period nonworkhours
host_notification_options n
service_notification_options w,u
email fred at someserver
}

Such a spoon-fed reply is given because I am feeling out of touch with 
my server atm :)
