    What Happens if You Take a Second Job in Violation of Employer Policies
    An employee signed an employment contract that provides,
    Quote:

    Quoting Exclusivity.
    During the term of this Agreement, Employee shall devote his/her full-time to providing services exclusively as directed by Employer and shall not perform services for others.

    If the employee takes a second, part-time job, what consequences could result under Maryland law?

    The law is the same in every state: If you have agreed not to work for anybody but your employer, and violate that agreement by accepting another job, your employer can fire you for cause.

    The provision that you describe does not include any noncompete provisions -- which is to say, the clause creates grounds to terminate your employment, but that clause does not provide your employer with any basis to try to stop you from continuing to work for the other employer.
