Before you take side work
Three checks that take ten minutes.
- Read the outside-work, conflict-of-interest and confidentiality clauses in your employment contract. If it asks for consent, ask in writing.
- Do not take tasks from a direct competitor of your employer.
- Use your own equipment and your own time. Read the guide

The same rules apply to every task, so they live on two pages: Pricing explains the 15% fee, prepayment and when you are paid; How it works covers matching, what a company sees and side work next to a job.
