Moonlighting is a term used to refer to holding a second job outside of normal working hours.
Basic moonlighting policies generally contain the statements addressing:
- interference with the primary job
- conflicts of interest
- your approval of the additional employment
Interference with primary job. The main purpose of most moonlighting policies is to set out your expectation that employees will treat their work at your business as their primary job and will not allow other jobs to interfere with the performance of the primary job.
Conflict of interest. Part of the reason for having policies is to protect your business. A conflict of interest policy can help you ensure that employees don't start working for your competitors while they're working for you.
Approval of employment. In formulating your moonlighting policy, you may want to include a clause that states that an employee must get approval for any outside employment. If you do include this clause, be sure that it isn't too restrictive and that you apply it consistently to all employees — don't allow one person to work another job and prohibit another employee from doing so if circumstances are similar.
