It doesn’t matter what’s legal, it matters what the company you work for thinks. Anything else is over analyzing the situation.

The bottom line is working for two companies full time concurrently is abnormal and it’s not a stretch to imagine you’re not getting 100% of your employee while they juggle two jobs.

I’d also fire the report if I discovered them working two jobs.



Well as long as their other work is never directly competing with the company, and the employee is always getting their work done, I don't see an issue with employees doing side-hustles.

Whether that's developing open-source projects, running a YouTube channel or working 40 hours a week for another team.

If they are competing with the company or not getting a reasonable amount of work consistently done, then that would be an issue.
