A lot of times you employ workers who either have a job they were doing and want extra income, or employees who feel you don't pay them enough and rather than leave, they go on to get another job. In Nigeria it is a little difficult if you are fully employed to have a second job but if you own businesses like restaurants, salons, catering outfits, entertainment, event planning, supermarkets etc, you are sure to come across workers with multiple jobs. Below are some things to look out for and make sure to manage when dealing with these types of employees.
1. Disclosure. Before employment be sure to find out if your new hire has another job.
2. Tardiness. If an individual juggles two things at the same time, so be sure to make sure they are able to manage their time and let them know coming late to work is a no no.
3. Conflict of Interest. Be sure about the nature of the second job, all job functions must be clear and disclosed to you, make sure the other job is not your competitor. You don't want them taking information to their other job from yours.
4. Attention to detail. Make sure the employee is productive and not making unnecessary mistakes, usually juggling two jobs can be stressful and you don't want anyone who is unproductive around your business.
5. Is your company policy for or against it?
6. Which job takes precedence, yours of the other job?
7. Are they calling in sick just to go to the other job?
