This part dazzles me:
'For instance, how do you ensure that an employee is doing what they are being paid to do during the hours they're contracted to work? If your employee took on a new full-time job without telling you, how would you know that they were claiming two pay checks at the end of each month?'
Euh ..., because you check the results of their work? If you contract them for 8 hours, you have no business controlling what they do in their off time not using company resources or divulging company IP. If they work a second job outside your hours, why is that different from them playing 8 hours of video-games a night.
If they want (or maybe need?) to work 2 jobs, maybe you can hire them twice (or pay more so they don't have to?). I get it you pay them for 8 hrs and hope they work 10-12 hrs, but that doesn't entitle you to that time.
- cestith 4y agoI think the problem in this case, although not stated very clearly, is working two jobs that require the same active hours. If you're doing two contracts and delivering work product on agreed terms, there's not much someone can say. If your job description requires a fixed range 6 or 9 hours of time available to the company every day like "office hours", then not being available for meetings and doing other things during that time is frowned upon.
