This document discusses whether moonlighting, or holding multiple jobs simultaneously, should be allowed or not. It provides context that moonlighting is becoming more common due to lack of skilled workers and low pay not meeting Generation Z's financial goals. While some tech company CEOs like CP Gurnani don't have issues with it, most companies prohibit external work and see it as cheating if it interferes with the primary job. Moonlighting could be considered cheating if the employment contract calls for non-compete or exclusive employment, but is allowed if contracts are silent or provide flexibility. In brief, the document suggests moonlighting should be allowed if the employee dedicates full attention to working hours and utilizes free time for other work

5. MOONLIGHTING POLICY IN INDIA
 Moonlighting could be accounted as cheating if a worker's contract calls for non-
compete and single employment, which is the deal with the majority of usual
employment contracts. Even so, it isn't cheating if the employment contracts don't hold
such a clause or give relaxations.
 Under the Factories Act, double employment is banned. Still, in some states, IT Firms
are open from that rule. Before coming across for side jobs or jumping to a business, it's
critical for employees to exactly check their employment contract with their primary job
to assure compliance with any moonlighting programs.

spends his working hours for a company without any
mischief and with utmost sincerity, He can utilize his free
time for other working or he can do whatever he wills, The
companies should not interfere for his free time until he is
dedicated to actual working hours of the company.
