Should your work in spare time be explicitly exempt in the contract, or, if side projects are not mentioned in the contract, does that implicitly exempt it?

- em-bee 5y agodepends on the country where you work. i believe in the US it is generally assumed that everything you do belongs to the employer even if not specifically mentioned. in some countries it is restricted to work done during work hours or on company equipment. in those countries it is safe if you work at home on your own computer, at least if the contract doesn't mention anything to the contrary. if the contract does claim personal work then it depends on whether that is legal or not.
