Friend lighting up moons like we're on Jupiter
Jupiter, the planet, not the company xD Okay but seriously though, my friend who works at a startup, is also in a freelancing company (all remote). He asked me to contact my ex company for a possible referral....and that he's actively looking for a 3rd job. I mean work wise, I'm pretty sure he's using AI tools to work on 2 (now possibly 3) jobs. But won't companies find out, based on his form 16 (I'm kind of a newbie on taxation)? How do companies not realise this or is it that companies can't really find out (?) Explain in detail how to pull this off :3
He might be working as a contractor in all companies. That is legally allowed since he is not legally bound to be working for only 1 company unlike a full time employee
He's a product manager in the startup and project manager in the freelance company. Sorry I didn't provide more context earlier

Not a risky at all. Companies can’t find multiple employement. Even with multiple form 16B . It’s legally allowed and can file return with ease. Nowadays companies started getting mad at moonlighting bcz people starter finding out it’s legally allowed. Maximum companies can do is to fire that person (which i know that person who has multiple jobs, will not bother to leave even in seconds)

Read this. Legally it’s allowed other than factory workers (and IT workers are not factory workers).
Eh, these legal codes are not strictly enforceable in white collar jobs

Regardless of those facts, he can get his employment contract as a contractor and not an FTE. Unless he is an FTE in which case I dunno if this is legal
Nowadays I see this happening everywhere, even USA...is it starting to get normalised?
Yes it is, was earlier restricted to senior levels. Junior levels are also trying it now post pandemic. Helps with your taxes as well since you're officially a business
Unless it's specifically mentioned you cannot work in your employment agreement, it shouldn't matter. Even if it's mentioned, it would be written as not working for competitor. That's fine!
And even if it's mentioned that moonlighting isn't allowed. No company is petty enough to take you to court on that. It looks petty on their side and they lose the image they really try hard to maintain.
