A question to you gaffers out there?

[imago]

Danielson 39. If I were you I'd check your employment contract to ensure that there is no clause that prevents you from '' moonlighting ". If there is you could be putting yourself at risk.

If there is it can't be enforced as it counts as restrictive practice. There have been a number of cases where employers tried to enforce the clause and it was thrown out.

If you have a Google there's quite a bit of legal info on the subject.

Sounds like he's not paying the proper rate to his sparks or you wouldn't be looking to jump ship.

Better just to keep it shy and see how it goes.

Danieleson, If I was you I would leave the Gaffer you have right now and start on your own . On one condition, you have enough work yto keep you afloat. If not stay where you are a do home jobs on the side like everybody else does when they get the chance.
