Is This Legal Or Illegal?

I agree with Sanjeev - this is the reality and we need to use our common sense and see it in the whole picture. If we are talking about misuse then we have a problem, but if I in my freetime work for a NGO I would be allowed to do that without my companies interfering.
Kind regards,
Randi

Hi!
I agree with sanjeev.The Company law does not contains such provision.The professionals are governed by professional bodies and rules are framed under. .whereas employess hired under contract .They governed by respective employment agreement{with regards to double employment}.Every one is breaking rules.who is going to regulate.
Thanking You
Yours Sincerely

Hi,
My question is still there, if a person is doing dual job in same profession isn't it giving a raise to unemployment.

Hi Deepali
No I do not believe it is like that! As stated earlier I do not believe it is a cero-sum game. There is not only x amount of jobs, but it is evolving all the time. If a person is doing 2 jobs it could be he is creating more jobs for others as well.
You see this reminds me of the discussion in my home country about outsourcing - shifting some of your work to India will take away work from European employees. The reality has just been that more work has come because of outsourcing so both Europa and India have gained. Of cause this is something that will always be discussed but I do not in the big picture believe that by having 2 jobs a person is taking away a job for another person.

HI Deepali,
Actually those days most of the company's or institutions were run by government, so the rule says double employment is prohibited. Even now in the public sector the double employment is prohibited. However, the same rule is being followed in private sector too. This is being followed to create job opportunity to the unemployed. But now a days nobody bothered about all these things and they are practicing privately. Even the companys are not bothered about this. Only in the govt sector, this rule is being strictly followed.
Finally as per law it is not permissible, but you can do it without the knowledge of the employer.

Deepali...you are showing your frustration and ignorance. Just give three good reasons....how you feel that a person doing Dual Job in same profession is giving rise to Unemployment ??? :D
Have good reasoning. Be Logical.
Just because you want to prove one point to someone...doesn't mean that it is correct.
Its all about multi-tasking. Don't you think that one person is doing more than one job...because he or she is capable of doing that. He or she is working for more than 10 hours. He or she is more talented than many others.
Education and age is not a proof that someone is learned. Just like..."Copy-Pasting N number of articles or Material is not a proof that someone is knowledgable and intelligent :D . So, keep sharing, keep GROWING and keep LEARNING...all the time.

Ok I believe we should keep the tone. This is not about being locigal this is about different opinions. This is not about the need to growth if you do not agree with another person on CiteHR.
This is a forum where we talk about HR issues, ask for help and ask for opinions. We don't need to agree and we don't need to lecture each other

Hi,
It depends upon the terms and conditions mentioned in the employment agreement or his contract for service if any.

The answer is easy - the professional is breaching his or her contract and is guilty of maintaining a conflict of interest unless the organisational gives written permission for them to undertake external work.
What to do about it is even harder!
Maybe the Chief Executive and Senior Managers of the organisation should start making appointments with the doctor in his private practice and then walking past their office/desk at work. (I'm being a bit facetious, but being open about the breach is a good starting point!)
