What is Moonlighting Policy?

An employer policy that sets rules about whether and how employees can hold secondary jobs, freelance work, or side businesses outside their primary employment, including disclosure requirements, approval processes, and conflict-of-interest boundaries.

Why it matters in hiring

Moonlighting Policy comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
