[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Huh?  I’ve always been an exempt employee and required to submit timesheets.  Per our employee handbook, I’m expected to work 40 hours per week during regular business hours.  No way would it be ethical to work a second overlapping job and then put down that I worked 40 hours for the first company.

This may not be the expectation and standard in every job, but in most it is.  Read your personnel manuals before engaging in this questionable conduct.  People are legitimately getting fired over this stuff.[/quote]

NP with a question - I’ve also always been exempt but needed to submit time and do at least 40 hours. However, usually/often it is more or much more than that. However, I never get any credit for the hours that I’m over 40 despite the fact that I can’t do less without taking leave. I thought the whole justification for salaried workers often doing more than 40 is that you hired to do a job not work prescribed hours. But if you can never balance the time and only can do more, why is that ok? [/quote]

Because they sc*ew you p and down with that system. My last full time job, I had to be sitting at my computer from 9-6 every day, and I also had to track the work I was doing in five minute increments. They didn't have enough work for me to do and somehow I was in trouble at the end of it. But on the days that I did have a lot to do, I sat there and did it until it was done, whatever time that was. It was really the worst of both worlds.

I am now self-employed and really struggling with the idea of giving anyone that kind of control over my time again, even though a nice remote job is being proposed for me.

Also OP is a ridiculous troll, and honestly the anti-WFH people sound more ridiculous and desperate by the day.[/quote]
