Do most people's new employees allow this? Almost everywhere I've worked said that I was not allowed to take on other paid work while being an employee (granted my experience has just been big financial companies in NYC). But I'd imagine places like Google/FB would also frown on people doing paid consulting for previous employers.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoYou might also ask is it legal for businesses to demand you don't "moonlight", it's like a non-compete in a way. Most people aren't paid enough that they're beholden to a company in their time off. One would probably need to consult a specialist employment lawyer for the pertinent jurisdiction.
- infinite8s 10y agoI think in that regard New York State is much more employer friendly than California (ie claims on things you do in your own time belonging to your employer seem to be much more likely to be enforced if included in your employment agreement).
- HeyLaughingBoy 10y agoI guess that depends on whether or not you were planning on asking permission.
