In the post-pandemic era, wherein the employees got the
flexibility to work from home, there have been instances of
moonlighting = while some companies were apprehensive about their
employees getting engaged in parallel employments / gigs, others
were relaxed.
Typically, companies do not allow their employees to take work
assignments independent (i.e to work with anybody other than their
employer) of their job during the course of their employment with
such companies.
To reverse this trend, Swiggy has introduced a new policy
permitting its employees to take external assignments for monetary
consideration or even for free.
As per this new policy, Swiggy employees will be permitted to
take assignments outside office hours or even on weekends subject
to approval from the Company to the extent such assignments do not
hinder the productivity of Swiggy's work and do not come in
conflict with economic interest of Swiggy's business and its
customers.
