Whether you can do two jobs at a time depends n the service condition of the respective employer.

The law of the land does not proscribe two jobs but any of your 2 employers restricts you in ding two jobs simultaneously then you would be restrained i ding so.

You can do multiple jobs without notice to your employer.

If you are in govt. Job than no. If your employer got to know, you may loose your govt. Job.

Yes,Definitely but it shouldn't competitor of your present employer and incase you have executed noncompete agreement between you and your employer then you are restricted to join the competitor of your present employer. 

Otherwise no worries, you may go ahead.

- There is no provision in Labour Laws , that an employee working in a private employee cannot do another job , like a government employee cannot enter into dual employment, i.e. cannot do financial, gain from another source, unless he is authorised in writing by the concerned department. 

-  Hence, you will have to follow the restriction & rules, which you have signed at the time of joining your position in the company. 

- If there is no restriction for the same, or your offer letter/appointment letter does not say anything about the same, then you can have two jobs in night shift.

1. you can take another employment with prior permission/intimation from your first employer,

2. permission depends upon the nature of the job,

3. 2 jobs may have an adverse effect on the quality of the work

Your employer may not permit you to have a second job, or to do freelance work in the same, or even an unrelated, field – particularly if you work at your main job full time.

juggling two or more jobs requires more time. That’s time you can’t take back, and time you won’t get to spend with your family, friends, and on your personal needs.

Balance is important. Working 100 hours a week is overkill, but juggling two jobs at 60 to 70 hours a week won’t kill you. As long as you manage your time and obligations wisely, that is.

Check your company’s employee manual or consult with your HR manager.

Example Restrictions or Limitations

  • Can’t work for competitors
  • Can’t disclose information about current projects, products, customers, and Intellectual Property information about the company
  • Fiduciary duties
  • Can’t divert business away from the employer, or solicit its current customers or vendors
  • Country and state guidelines for total cumulative work rendered

it's all depends upon the contract or agreement you have made with the company you are currently working. If it doesn't bound you to work on any other paid job then you can go for an additional job.

If the two jobs have no specific clauses regarding alternative employment prohibition then you may be employed in a 2nd job too.

Dear Sir/Madam,

You are suggested that some job offers have such issues that you may not do any other/full time or part time job. So, you are suggested to read to job conditions and offers of the both the jobs and then proceed accordingly.

Your employment is governed by your offer letter and appointment letter in case there is no such conditions that you have to work completely for an organisation then you are free to do any other work along with your own job but in case there is any such conditions and you agree for that condition in that case you will be liable for any compensation are any other income generated from others work to be paid to your first organisation.

So in your case your appointment letter is your encyclopaedia which can guide you in this regard
