Part time evening work and current employer

italia

ive recently had a drop in income and need to find partime work in the evening

a) its hard to find as all the job sites that come up when i google it all end up just showing me full time jobs with annual salarys. even the part time sites.

b) i take it i have to contact HR at my day job to let them know for tax purposes

c) i didnt really want to do b) as wont it put me in a negative light, ie they think ill be tired or whatever the next day and it will affect my work?

anyone got any advice on good sites for part time evening work

thanks

I don't have advice about sites for part-time evening work but if you are getting annual salary figures do check that the hours are part-time and that it is not simply the case that you would have to pro rate the salary to get to the part-time pay. (I mean that the jobs may be part-time but they are quoting an annual salary for a full-time worker - makes comparison easier perhaps or just looks more attractive at first sight.)

It is not for "tax purposes" that you may need to contact your HR department. The tax on your part-time earnings will be dealt with by your other employer and HMRC. The first, full-time, employer has nothing to do with that.

However, read what your written particulars of employment state about outside working. It may be in a staff handbook if that has parts which are contractual or it may be in other paperwork you have received from your current employer. If it says there that you are asked to request permission to take on other work, then you need to ask. They should not withhold permission unreasonably. So as long as there is no conflict of interest between the two employers and it is not very long hours every evening, then you should be OK.

i see your point, it may be a job share, still i would have thought a few hours a week would be per hour but ill look out for that. perhaps people that just want someone a few hours advertise locally or something.

thanks very much. i thought it was for tax! i dont have anything written down re my work contract, we just have to ask HR they seem to hold it all. ill ask them if i have to ask permission.

The way i see is that your allowed to have a second job as long as it doesnt impact on your current job eg you were asked to work till say 12 when you start your current job at say 7 or 8(might be tired), you shouldnt have to tell your current employer aout the 2nd job as hmrc will know about it and sort the tax out they're end,

these are my views mind, they may not be right but its what id do if i had a second job

Justto echo above. Your contract might say that you must not take on other work, some companies can be funny about it. You should ahve your own statement of conditions for your employment by law but this may not go into much details.

You will be recieving your tax free allowance on your main job so you will not recieve any on your second and be put on a BR tax meaning everything you earn in your second job is taxed at 20%

but if the 2nd job doesnt impact on the main job then does that stop person A from having 2 jobs

Not really no but some people have funny contracts that clearly specify they are not allowed to take employment without prior consent from them

i could understand if it had an impact on the main job but if it didnt then why say anything, yes im aware that some companies have a rule in the contract about not another job,

By law you should have written particulars of employment - it's no good them saying HR hold all the information.

You are a party to the contract and must have a copy of basic information and easy access (say on a notice board) to anything which is contractual but not provided to every individual.

Rather than just asking them the question about a second job, ask them for a copy of the written particulars of employment. You can then check for yourself whether there is anything there to require you to ask permission. If there is no requirement to ask, I don't see why you should speak with them about it.

If you have lost what was originally given to you in writing (it was due within 2 months of your starting work with them), you need a copy for reference. If you never received the information, they must provide it.
