6. Employer might set new policies
Some employers might take it into their heads to determine new policies regarding second jobs. In fact, many employers do have policies that forbid this endeavor.
Others have policies stating that employees must disclose their secondary jobs. Failure to disclose could result in dismissal.
Once rules are set in black and white and employees are instructed to sign in or sign out, it can be a challenge for employees who may need that secondary income or simply love the second job they do.
By remaining under the radar, you can hopefully prevent your employer from establishing policies that might interfere with your second job.
Some companies may already have policies on the books that may or may not be enforced. In some cases, you might want to consult an employment attorney to determine a course of action regarding your adherence to these policies and your secondary work.
If you are not required by contract to disclose your moonlighting activities, you might simply wish to avoid all the hoopla and keep your personal business to yourself.
The key to maintaining your secrecy is to keep your second job completely quiet. Don’t discuss it on social media or with any co-workers who might mention it to someone else who might mention it to the HR department or your supervisor.
