How can you do this as a regular employee? At least in my european country your employer has to pay social security insurance and that cant be paid twice. Therefore if you find 2 jobs you will sooner or later run into issues. Also...Where are these companies where you dont have any overlapping meetings?

In the US, the employee would get the overpaid taxes back as a tax credit when they file taxes. But the employee could change their tax withholding using form W-4 so that the federal taxes are not overpaid.

In the UK tax is somewhat disconnected from payroll. So that e.g. a second job would attract a different tax code. Different tax codes are applied for many, many different reasons though. I'm still a company director, although the company doesn't trade any longer, so I'm required to self-assess and pay my tax yearly. My tax code through my employer is slightly different as a result. If my tax code were ever pulled up as an issue by my employer my answer would be the above, coupled with 'mind your own business', because it is my business and not theirs. NI payments can be deferred to the higher rate (2%) on a second job to prevent overpayments. I know this from when I (legitimately, and with the full knowledge of both employers) had two jobs.

As a regular employee I believe the companies would be informed of not needing to pay the full amount, and would pay something proportional. I do not know how many details are shared with them. This seemed to be the case when I was temporarily working for 2 companies in Spain more than a decade ago.

  Interesting. There was a prospect of me having 2 jobs and each one of them in a different country (within EU). I wonder how that would work.
