Moonlighting is working other professional paid jobs outside of Float. We have some thoughts to share to avoid conflict or issues down the road.
What We Support
- A side project that is outside of our industry. You may be looking to try out a business idea, develop an app, or produce a podcast. As long as the effort doesn't conflict with your Float deliverables or diminish your performance, go for it.
- An occasional gig (paid or pro-bono) for someone you know or a community organization that requires a few hours a month. This can be a writing project, a speaking engagement, a friend's website or a non-profit you want to help support.
If you have to take some time off, you can use your paid time off.
What We Don't Support
- A personal business you're actively marketing: If you're seen to be actively promoting your business or services, that's going to likely lead to conflict.
- Contracting for another organisation in our industry. Not sure if that industry is in conflict? Ask ahead of committing.
- Businesses that require prioritisation of its time ahead of Float's: e.g. A business that requires you to provide customer support during your workday is likely to be a conflict.
- A full-time role outside of Float
If you're finding that you're exhausted or distracted, that's going to impact your performance and the team. Having time off and away from work is an important part of our culture. It's a fine balance, so the best course of action is to chat with Operations if you are in doubt before you jump into any work outside of Float that you're unsure about.
