Secondary employment
A secondary occupation refers to an additional activity that a person carries out alongside their main occupation. This can be a paid or voluntary activity that is carried out either regularly or occasionally.
Second jobs can be pursued for a variety of reasons, including financial needs, career development, interests or the opportunity to learn new skills.
They can take various forms, such as freelance work, part-time work, project work, consulting or volunteer work. However, employers may set guidelines or restrictions on secondary employment to avoid potential conflicts of interest or to ensure that it does not interfere with the main job.
It is important that employees disclose their secondary employment transparently to their employers and ensure that it complies with working time requirements, conflicts with their main employment and applicable legal requirements. Through clear communication and compliance with relevant policies, employees and employers can avoid potential problems related to secondary employment and maintain a harmonious working relationship.
