It's the biggest open secret out there

Nothing wrong in a part time freelancing contract in addition to your permie job. I've thought about it even before the pandemic.

Are your massage skills up to scratch, or would you have to rely on more niche deliverables...

As long as you're doing it on your own time, not using your employer's stuff.

As long as you don't get caught... Mind you, using your employer's stuff would make the whole enterprise even riskier.

Not if one job was contractor outside ir35 and another was perm paye…

Yes. That's why I began my post with "Two permie jobs would be problematic". I've highlighted the key word for you. HTHBFIDI

Got sent that article today as I'm known to moonlight.

Wouldn't bother if I was perm, but as a contractor it's fair game.

If you can't tell both parties what is going on then it shouldn't be happening.

This is the most important part ^^^^^^^^

If you have to keep it quiet then it's probably wrong.

I'd even say that's wrong. Despite what we think outside should be it is very very rarely done in your own time and delivered back. Even if it's outside it can't be done in the 8 hour day due to contractual obligations and have to be done in own time. 99% of outside gigs don't deliver that way.

Even if there is a SoW to deliver something and you work on it when you want there is still likely to be a requirement to do it during the workday due to meetings etc in which case it shouldn't be done. There is going to be an element of working on each others time without a doubt.

So even if one was outside and other perm it's pretty rare it can be done properly. If you can't tell both parties what is going on then it shouldn't be happening.

Two permie jobs would be problematic, as one of them would be on the BR code, presumably.

Was wondering the same, HR/Payroll would find out based on tax code information they get from HMRC
