Add Comment Question: Hi there, I am an employee of a large financial institution (one of Canada's big 5 banks) and have been employed by them full-time for near 10.5 years now. Since 2020 my job has been hybrid due to the effects of Covid and its aftermath. For roughly 2.5 years I was home exclusively during the pandemic and since then people have returned to the office (first gradually: 1-2 days as week, and eventually most 3 times a week). Because my job can be done almost exclusively remotely and because my boss is very comfortable with it, I usually go into the office 1-2 days as week and the rest of the time I work from home. I am currently in the process of looking for other job opportunities and while I update my resume and look for jobs to apply to, I am seeking exclusively remote work opportunities. The nature of my current job is that we put in 37.5 hours per week but most days, my tasks are completed in half that time. I'd estimate that out of those 37.5 hours, I am probably busy for less than half of them and there is rarely extra work for me to take on. Given this, my thought has been to potentially add another job at the same time and carry both rather than quite my current one if I find another. What I wanted to know is whether or not this is permittable? Can I take on another full-time position if it is fully remote? Or does my current employment contract currently bar me from doing so and thus, is it considered breach of contract if I do? What could be the implications if I were to do so? Is it illegal or criminal? Could I be fired, or even worse face litigation from my current employer? Does it make a difference between whether the position I take on is contract or full-time? Will the tax authorities have a problem with me having multiple full-time jobs and does it make a difference whether or not one of them is potentially an American or European employer who potentially pays me in USD rather than CAD? Is there a legal limit on the total number of hours per day/week a worker can bill or report? Can my current employer access information about my taxes and see that I have multiple jobs? These are my basic questions prior to me deciding to take anything else on. I would really appreciate if someone could provide me an answer to them. Thank you Answer: Thank you for your questions.
