Some things to consider before telling:
- Read your employment contract. What does it say about side jobs?
- How important is your main job?
- Is your side job of a different industry (non-conflict)?
- Is your side job affecting your main job? E.g. you are more tired at work, etc
- What are the consequences if your boss finds it out by himself or herself? Will your boss enforce anything based on the contract?
- How important is your side job?
As for myself, if I ever want to pick up a side job, I will consider (1), (3) and (4).
