Whether you are already Moonlighting or are considering doing so, we strongly recommend you read through your contract of employment.

Many employers do not like their employees "Moonlighting" and make it clear in their contracts of employment what the consequences will be if found to be Moonlighting. Make sure you understand these consequences before embarking on this path.

Moonlighting can be a great way to reduce some of the risks associated with starting a new business, but don’t let it affect your performance at your regular job.

Accidents can and do happen!

Whether you only do the occasional private job or do frequent jobs, Moonlighters strongly recommends that you take out "Liability Insurance" . Give yourself and your customers peace of mind in the knowledge that in the event you are covered.

Generating extra income will undoubtedly be subject to taxation. We at Moonlighters recommend that you keep accurate records of all income generated over and above your normal p.a.y.e. earnings and if necessary, employ the services of a bookkeeper or tax advisor / accountant. You will almost certainly be required to disclose your earnings at the end of the tax year.
