I don't want to have to request to work a 2nd job that isn't related to Finance, the field I work in. Any suggestions or know if there is a way around this typically? I just am annoyed that I need to request to work say as a cashier at a store or a stock person part time when I work in Loans and i'm paid hourly for a 40 hour week for the most part. I have to sign a letter along with all employees by Monday, but there is a spot for comments on the form. I'm just not sure what to write. It saids Agree Disagree and has a box for comments.

Quit that job and get one that allows the freedom you desire. Don't try to circumvent the system in place. Be 'above board' on all your business dealings. This builds on your own integrity and earns trust from others.

Does your job have odd hours or switch hours? Perhaps that's the reason for requesting permission. But if it's for a non-competitive agreement, that's another story. That clause is to make sure you don't take any information or knowledge from your job and use it with a competitor.
Either way, I'd advise requesting permission from your employer. Even if it's in a different field, it'd be a good idea.

The easiest way is to sign the form and get a 2nd job anyway if they do not know about who cares. Just be aware that if you get caught than you could be fired. Or you can sign the form and explain to them that you are looking for an easy part-time job to help you save money for a purchase, to pay off debts, or to keep you busier on your free time. As long as the second job doesn't affect the first job and doesn't violate any of their rules for employment, they will not care.

You accepted that condition when you accepted your current job. If you take a 2nd job without requesting permission, it is grounds for termination; regardless of the field. There may be a conflict of interest that you aren't aware of.

As a rule, no. Many employers require to report secondary employment, but I haven't heard of asking their permission. I think a lot depends on the field you are in.
Unless you have a contract, you are employed "at-will" (of the employer) so he or she can set the rules as long as they are reasonable and not illegal.

You can always quit your first job if the second pays better. Then you'll not have to get around anything. Just quit the first job or take the best job that gives you benefits and higher pay...

I really don't think they can keep you from a second job, as it would never go to litigation, but they could terminate you for breaking company policy.
If you are needing the second job for financial reasons, simply tell them in order to survive, you are taking a second job.
That's my thoughts on the matter.

Long shot to check with your State's DOL to see if such arrangements violate your State's laws.
If not, you are stuck because that's the terms of your employment. If you can unilaterally alter your agreement, your employer can likewise just decide he doesn't want to pay you one period. You would like that.

If it's a written company policy there isn't a way around it without jeopardizing your current position.

if you signed an agreement with them you have to stick with it but if they just verbally tell you that then you can do what you want but chances are they are not gonna work with you on scheduling so its gonna make it hard for you to keep the other job
