If you are considering any sort of side job, whether starting your own company or working a second job, you may want to take note of the following suggestions, in order to avoid any issues with your primary employer.

Make sure that you have not signed any sort of contract that would limit your ability to work outside of your primary employer. The most common contract that could affect your ability to do so is a non-compete contract, which states that, within certain geographical and chronological constraints, you are not allowed to work for (or start) a business that competes with your current employer. However, some employers are asking employees to sign more strenuous contracts, which limit their ability to work beyond their employer.

Do not allow your secondary job to invade your main work. If you are paid as an employee of one company, it is unethical to be doing the work of another — even if you own that other company. Don’t take phone calls for your other job, don’t read email for it, and don’t do work for it. If an emergency comes up, you may choose to take personal time to deal with it, but don’t make it into a habit.

Avoid networking for your ‘other’ job when you should be working on a project for your primary position. While you may have the temptation to speak up and say that your other company might be perfect for something, you should resist it. At the very least, you should keep a low profile on your multi-employment status.

Eliminate your second job if the workload becomes too much. Assuming that your primary job is the more important of the two, if you find yourself unable to meet the requirements of both, eliminate one. Depending on the reason you took on the second commitment, it may not seem like an option. If, for instance, you need the second income in order to meet your obligations, you may want to consider other options for higher income, such as asking for a raise, or finding a new job entirely.

Many individuals transition from employee to entrepreneur or from job to job with some sort of overlap. It can be difficult to balance such a workload, and it takes effort to keep such a situation from becoming a problem. You will need to prioritize to succeed, and even then, if you do not prioritize your primary employer, you may run into trouble.
