do you have to advise your employer if you have a second job?

Answer 1

Depends upon what your contract of employment says. Some do, some don't and some prohibit it.

Answer 2

The other thing to bear in mind is the Working Time Directive which states that you cannot work more than 48 hours per week, unless you sign out of it. This would be something you would do with your second employer.
The question of the tax code for your second job is a matter between you and your second employer, not the first one.

Answer 3

Generally yes, but it should specifically state this in your contract. Usually it says something like you must advise your line manager if you want to APPLY for a second job and they must give their permission in writing, but that such permission will not be unreasonably withheld.

I think this is in case it creates a conflict of interest and in case there are problems with your working/being unable to work certain hours.

Your second job needs to know that it is your second job, because you go onto a different tax rate. This is a discussion that you need only have with HR or payroll, not your manager.

Answer 4

There is no law that says you need to but you may have agreed to it in your contract. I assume you are UK employed. If you are a salesman and running two jobs during the day then you are on dodgy ground - I met a man who was doing this and he said that the biggest problem was running up enough miles on the two company cars. He spent most of the weekend driving up and down the M1.

Answer 5

It depends on how many hours you do in your second job and is it beneficial to you to split the tax code. You will need to contact and inform Inland Revenue as it is taxable income.

If you do receive a payslip then tax is at BR .

You will receive a p60 from both jobs at year end. The tax office will add these 2 amounts together to show how much tax you have earnt during the tax year.

Answer 6

Typically you don't have to. However, some jobs requires you to be flexible in hours or limit your ability to work for somebody else. Check the employment agreement you signed.

Answer 7

If your second job doesn't create an ethical conflict, you're not moonlighting, and it doesn't interfere with your ability to perform in your first job, you shouldn't have any obligation to tell your employer.

Answer 8

Look at your contract. I would say you only need to mention the other job if it is seen as a conflict of interest. I.e. if you are affecting the business with your main job.

Answer 9

I think you have to inform them by law,Beacuse it might be seen as a conflict of interest. Or your second job might interfere with your first job.
