Hi, guys. This is Arun from Chennai. I am currently working as an administrative assistant in a company, and I'm looking for a part-time employment too so that I can earn some cash for myself. But, the important problem here is in my appointment letter, my company has mentioned, "During the course of employment with the company, you shall not enter the service of employment, consultancy, full or part-time of any other person or organization of yourself carry on or be interested in any business." Please suggest me, guys!! What should I do??

Dear Arun,

I believe you are clear about the terms of your employment contract regarding dual employment and engaging in any other business while working for your current employer. In that case, why do you have this question? No one can provide a lawful or ethical answer to it.

Hi Arun,

Dual employment is not allowed in many companies unless otherwise specified. In case you still pursue part-time employment, that can result in the termination of your employment from the company.

I agree that dual employment is not allowed, but some employees obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their current employer if the work is not related to their current employment and if the person is truly in need of money. You can inquire or discuss this with the HR.

Dear colleague,

I don't understand why employers frown upon double employment. I am of the view that if dual employment does not adversely affect the current employer's interests, he should allow this. In today's poverty-stricken environment, if someone honestly wants to enhance earnings to fulfill some of his family responsibilities, employers should not put a finger on the rule book and look at it as a crime. Several employees do moonlighting to make ends meet, and one should take a sympathetic view and allow it to pass the muster.

Dear Vinayak Nagarkar,

That's my question too!! We are not going to work in their office time. We have our own personal time. So, what is wrong with working in my personal time? I don't know why the companies mention this thing on the appointment letter. But if we were to ask for an NOC from the employer, what do they think of us? Plus, it's a little possibility that they will accept and sign the NOC form. JUST CONFUSED AND STRUCK

Dear Arun,

If you are so keen, do moonlighting (taking another job during spare time without letting your employer know), and also be prepared for any fallout.

Dear Vinayak Nagarkar,

My case is different here. I need a part-time job for experience. So, if I were to do part-time work while employed with the company, it won't be considered as proof of experience, right?

Dear Arun, Your case is not different. You can ask for experience certificate from your part time employer. Why would he not give you? Vinayak Nagarkar HR- Consultant
