It's surely quite common for employment contracts to forbid taking a second job in the same business type.
In Wipro's case the employees were working for competitors not just doing the same kind of generic work; I'm pretty sure that most companies would object to that rather strongly.
- bennyelv 4y agoI’ve had employment contracts (financial services) that forbade any other employment at all. I wasn’t surprised by this. If your contract is one for a professional, knowledge worker type role and you’re paid according to your results or output, then the company wants you to focus all of your working attention on it. If you’ve got mental capacity to do more work, do it for them, get rewarded accordingly.
- demarq 4y ago> get rewarded accordingly. Nope. Same companies have an overtime clause that allows them to pay you absolutely zero for that extra work.

- nyc_data_geek1 4y agoThis would be a sound approach, if reward was proportional to effort or output. It's most assuredly not, and everyone pretty much knows that by now.
- villgax 4y agoNope, not common at all. And the word competitor could be every other company out there. Unless every company demands to see tax returns it will be difficult to verify anything from taking after-school classes/tuitions, stock trading....may just push people to take up contract work or freelance for the most part.
