I personally make it clear that side projects, monetized or not, are one of the best ways to learn new skills, ways of thinking, and improve productivity. I agree to sign non-compete and clauses stating that anything done outside of the business requirements (I don't work hours, I work results kind of thing) will not conflict with, impede, or otherwise negatively impact my position. I've only had one employer in the nearly two decades that had an issue with that, and ironically it was an organization that had pretty high turnover from the reviews I read. Whomever is paying me is paying me to do a job. They don't own my life, my free time, or my hobbies. If they don't understand or support that, I wouldn't bother going forward with them as it's simply not the kind of culture I would want anything to do with. Also, to the person who wrote about external income needing to be documented with a ton of paperwork... if you are in the US, what about US Reserve military members (which is a protected status)? Adjunct faculty positions? Seems like the employer should not have any say on that kind of income. |
