Thank you for the response. I would like to rephrase the question as below:

Is a person having a business and holding a full-time job considered as dual employed?

Even though a contract may have been signed for entering into business and it does not mean employment or fixed remuneration, would it still be considered dual employment?

Hi rka5,

No, it would not be considered as dual employment until you sign a contract with any of them. You must keep both roles separate, meaning timing and work should be defined independently. For example, if you work full-time during the day, then you should choose part-time work for the evenings. Both roles can run concurrently.

I think it is considered as a dual employment "A person having a business and holding a full-time job" because in both case he is earning money and employment means the state of having paid work.

Understanding Employment and Dual Employment

The term "employment" can be broadly defined as "engaging oneself independently or otherwise in an economic activity to gain some reward or return." However, when that arrangement is specifically for hire or reward, it presupposes the existence of three inseparable components: (1) the employer, (2) the employee, and (3) the contract of employment. Both the employer and the employee derive their rights and responsibilities strictly from the terms and conditions of the contract of employment, whether express or implied.

In industrial parlance, dual employment strictly denotes the fact of multiple employment of an employee under more than one employer simultaneously. It does not refer to any kind of self-engagement beyond one's normal working hours unless it is expressly prohibited in the contract of employment.

Pl see the thread "Dual employment detail- legal action" in which on 24.2.2015, I have tried to explain the term "dual employment" in the context of statutory laws. Thanks Sushil
