Are You Moonlighting?

You may have heard of the term moonlighting. Moonlighting defined is having a second job, typically secretly and at night, in addition to one’s regular employment. It’s no surprise that most employers are not fans of moonlighting activities because it takes your focus, time and commitment away from their company. 

Be sure to check your employment contract, as many businesses have outlined a specific, “No Moonlighting Policy.” As the definition suggests though, most of the time, employees are working their second job or starting their small business discreetly; away from the watchful eyes of human resources.

This can be dangerous so proceed with caution. You can fall victim to losing your security if word gets around the office about your nightly and weekend business responsibilities.
