Re: [Consult400] Side jobs

Gary,

I'm with you on this one.  I am an employer and can state that what an employee
does on their own time is none of my business!

Depending on where you live, employment agreements that restrict ones ability to
apply their trade are not only unenforceable, but illegal.

Now, if said employee used company assets, auto, cell phone, lap top, programs,
to perform their extra curricular activities I'd fire them and sue their ass
off.

Once we agree to this, we can get along just fine and go to work.
