O overemployed is a trend that took off after the two-year pandemic that caused an increase in the number of people in the style of home office work. This scenario gave rise to professionals assuming – silently – more than one job.
Having more than one source of income became a safety net during a period of mass layoffs and the closure of several companies. Thus, the possibility of working from home showed workers, especially digital and tech area, that their effort could be invested in responsibilities at levels equivalent to or totally different from the original job.
Among so many cases, we find professionals who have a fixed main job and in their free time do work freelancers, which is a type of self-employed professional performing activities more independently, without having to comply with a pre-determined schedule. Thus, he only needs to meet delivery dates and, of course, relevant results.
There are also those who only invest in freelance work, forming all their monthly income with this type of contract. In this way, the service provider develops work for individuals and legal entities without any employment relationship.
However, any of these work conciliations needs some deep analysis, as it is necessary to understand why you are embarking on an adventure. workaholics and if it's really worth it.

If the need is to increase monthly income, it is valid to question the duration of such an effort, whether it is something that will only be adopted in the short or long term. For example, for those who are thinking about saving money just for a dream trip or buying a new computer, everything is calmer, after all, the intellectual effort can be dated. In other words, you set a deadline to collect the desired amount according to the time worked and the amount received per day or month.
Now, if the situation calls for ing two long-term jobs to maintain your routine monthly expenses, try working with your current skills rather than moving to another area where you're likely to earn less because you don't have previous experience.
For example: if you are a physical educator, it is more interesting to launch a course on how to increase your muscle mass, for example, rather than trying to specialize in ing.
Another tip is that, depending on the company, you can earn more working in two junior-level positions than one senior position. Another advantage is that, due to the lower level of complexity, the worker's life is made easier by reconciling two jobs with fewer responsibilities.

So, what you find most are people betting on different aspects of the current position, in which the worker will have other functions and responsibilities - maybe even more important - and which consequently can lead to new opportunities. Copywriters at an advertising agency can serve as proofreaders at another company, in a brief example.

Is it allowed to have more than one job? 686l15

Whether or not you have more than one job is a very common question. However, it will depend on each employment contract signed, because if employers demand exclusivity, it will be necessary to comply with it, at the risk of being fired for just cause.
Article 482 of the CLT makes it clear that when the accumulation of employment “is detrimental to the service” of the employee, it may be considered just cause for termination of employment. This fact can occur when the worker underestimates the accumulation of responsibilities between jobs and does not do the job.
For this reason, some people call this relationship “corporate bigamy”. Even if there is no ban, the rules of your employment contract and the CLT must be followed. In short, your “main job” should not be affected by any other type of demand.
In addition, even those who work with a formal contract in the CLT model can have a MEI (individual microentrepreneur). Therefore, as much as it is allowed to have more than one job, it is important to that MEI activities cannot interfere with CLT employment, as just cause may occur. There are other important points to note:
MEI and CLT: double contribution 5x1e6r
That's right! The worker will need to contribute to the National Social Security Institute (INSS) by both means, that is, even if a percentage of the CLT salary is directed to social security, the MEI will not be free to pay the monthly Document of Collection of the Simples Nacional (DAS), which includes the contribution to the INSS.
Right to unemployment insurance 3g4460
It is necessary to analyze whether the CLT employment contract remains in force and parallel to the MEI. If so, you will have difficulties in obtaining unemployment insurance in the event that MEI has earned an income greater than one minimum wage during the period in which you are unemployed with a formal contract.
In the case of CNPJ, for example, the data are cross-referenced and unemployment insurance claims are rejected, regardless of whether they have billings or not.
The other typical labor rights of the CLT remain in force, such as, for example, the right to vacation, thirteenth and weekly rest.
