[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course this isn't allowed.  Wait until they audit you and you have to pay back your salary. This is a reason why WFH doesn't work and everyone is back in the office[/quote]

Who is this "they"? There's no such thing as employer audit. I'm a fed and a lot of my coworkers have 2nd jobs but in unrelated fields (real estate, clothes making, etsy stores, couple counseling, sports coaching, tutoring, bartending etc.). As long as you don't work the same hours and there is no conflict of interest, go for it.  [/quote]

Same hours is a myth. Exempt employees don’t do time cards. [/quote]

If there's an expectation that you work during certain hours and you are working for someone else during those hours, that's fraudulent. Whether they can catch you is a different issue. If you only have deliverables and not specified work hours or expectations, maybe that's ok.

When I was in college I had a job grading papers as a TA and a job manning a desk in the student employment center. So I graded papers while sitting at the desk. Of course if anyone showed up I'd stop and help them, but I chose the evening shift so that rarely happened. So I did both jobs simultaneously and of course got paid twice for the same hours. The thing is that I was actually working the whole time and everyone was fine with this arrangement. That would not have been the case if both jobs had actually required hourly work because by definition I then could not have done them both simultaneously. I was not actually shorting either employer. Most of the PPs scenarios cannot say the same.

Also, I still felt icky about it even though everyone thought it was fine.
