So I've been working part-time for this employer, and recently decided to get a 2nd job temporarily to make a little extra money. But I'm wondering, do I need to tell my main employer about it? I know my primary employer does not forbid people from working two jobs because I know several full-time people there that do, just as long as you aren't working for a competitor. This 2nd employer would not be considered a competitor in any way. The only problem I could see my primary employer having is, they sometimes ask me to come in on my days off when they're busy, even though it's usually optional for me to do so (I'm also a student, so they're flexible with my schedule). So they could have an issue with me working elsewhere on my days off, even though employer #2 would work around both my school and primary work schedule, so I'd only be working on days when I know for sure my main employer won't need me. And some of the employees at my main employer are familiar and/or do business with employer #2 in some way, so it's *possible* my primary employer could find out. Whether they'd understand or care that I didn't mention it, I don't know.
With all of that said, am I required to tell them? I have already been through the background check for this 2nd job and have been approved - I've filled out most of the paperwork but have not officially started yet. I should probably have taken this question into deeper consideration before I applied, but I guess I didn't start thinking about it much until now. I just hope I haven't messed things up already by waiting until now to worry over this. Any insight would be appreciated.
I don't believe it is required, but it would certainly be more polite, respectful, and takes care of calling on your days off. They may not like it, but it's more fair to your employer. Your time off is YOUR time off.
Most of the time, no, but your company might have a policy requiring it.
I know I have to get any outside jobs approved by my company before working them, but I am in a pretty highly regulated industry and can't do much of anything in my personal life related to money without reporting it
You are only required if it is a conflict of interest.
