Working part time beside full time
<p>I am living in Ontario, Canada and I am currently working as full time employee in a large company. But based on my agreement, I am not allowed to work more than 40 hours every week (I do not get paid for it).</p>

<p>I am wondering is it possible to accept a small part time job beside this job?</p>

<p>In general, you can work as many jobs as you can cope with.</p>

<p>Your employer (any of them) can only interfere if:</p>

<ol>
<li>It affects your performance,</li>
<li>Your other job infringes on their business e.g. your second job is in competition with the first. So working for 2 software houses is no good but if your second job is as a bartender, that would be fine.</li>
</ol>

<p>This is the case even absent a specific clause in your contract. Further, any clause that purported to go further would be unenforceable as an unfair restraint of trade.</p>
