Is your employee moonlighting?
You want and deserve hard-working and committed employees.
Though some will be better than others, as long as you're their only employer
(or you know about their other Employment), things will usually work out
alright. Moonlighting, however, can cause trouble.
If your employee is moonlighting, they're doing another job
potentially without your Knowledge. You might feel comfortable with this -
after all, don't we all need a little extra Money? - But do think carefully
about the risks.
- Are you losing
their loyalty?
Is your employee calling in sick more often, or skipping
shifts unannounced? They may be working elsewhere and leaving you to pick up
the pieces.
By staying with your company, your employee could be getting
the best of both worlds, but can you handle their regular inability to show up
when they're supposed to be working?
- Are they sharing
business knowledge?
Worse than flaky employee behavior is the possibility that
they're sharing insider knowledge. Are they gaining insights into your business
plans, and then sharing them with a competitor? Are they using the work they're
doing for your business to complete their tasks elsewhere? Are they copying
documents, or leaking important files?
When an employee is moonlighting with a job in a similar
industry, there is a very real risk that they're damaging your business - even
if they don't realize.
They may even be taking your customers. If they have access
to client information, can you confidently say that they're not contacting
those same clients when working in their second job?
- Is your employee
becoming less productive?
Even employees with the very best of intentions will have
lower productivity levels when moonlighting. They might be missing out on sleep
to balance two separate jobs, and will almost certainly be dealing with more
stress.
Even if they show up whenever they're supposed to, giving
their job their full effort, it's almost guaranteed that their 'full effort'
simply isn't what it used to be.
If you're concerned about a moonlighting employee, using a
private investigator could help you to get the answer that you deserve. We
could gather the evidence required to open up a conversation, finding out the
truth from your employee and a solution that will work for both parties.
