Can I work another full time job if I am taking Federal full time remote job

Hi,

I am currently employed full time with non-government client.

I am going to take a Federal job and go through Public Trust clearance.

i have below questions-

  1. Can I work 2 full time jobs(both remote) 1- Federal and 1-non government (different sector) jobs without telling either ?
  2. If the Federal job finds out about my another job - what actions they can take and what consequences I will face ?

You have to disclose your work history on your SF85 for a Public Trust.

If neither company has a clause about not working multiple jobs AND (this is the big one) you’re not committing timesheet fraud (i.e. only so many hours in a day. You’re working one job 8-4, and the other job 4-12am), go for it.

This sounds like overemployment. You CANNOT take two full time jobs and work at the same time, especially with the federal government. They can and will charge you/fine you if they find out you are committing time fraud, and you will lose your security clearance. Do not even suggest you are planning to go ahead with this.
