Taking Second Jobs - How HR Professionals Can Identify & Manage the Issues

Introduction

The cost-of-living crisis has meant that many employees are needing to think carefully about their finances. One solution to the demands is to earn more, and this can be achieved by taking a second job.

Many employers will allow employees to do some additional work with another employer, provided it does not detract from the work they are doing.

However, what about employees who are operating fraudulently? They might be doing two ‘full time’ jobs, or they might be abusing the ability to work remotely to hide what they are doing.

This short webinar will offer guidance on how HR can identify and manage these situations.
