Employees with a second job or a parallel business may erode your profits |
Moonlighting - not just the name of an 80's detective series, but an issue that may have serious implications for you as an employer. Let's face it, you may think your employees work for you, but it is often the case that your money is paying for someone's time elsewhere. This may be when they are "sick", or during time when you think they are fully employed. |
In addition to the potential financial loss we have encountered several instances whereby an employees unknown part-time occupation has had severe effects on the employers business - such as the account manager recognised by customers working underdressed in a London bar | ||
Most full time employees are required to work full time for one employer only, however some will invariably breach the terms of their contract by "moonlighting" for others. If an employee carries out work for another which they have agreed to do only for their main employer, then any profits they make are legally due to their main employer. |
Of course, if the secondary work does not fall within the description of their normal work they need not pay over any profits, although their employer will still be able to recover compensation in law from the employee for any actual loss as a result of the breach of contract.
