Undisclosed Concurrent Employment

Undisclosed Concurrent Employment occurs when a subject performs work for another employer, client, or commercial entity while remaining employed by the primary organization, and does so without required disclosure, approval, or contractual permission. The behavior becomes an insider threat concern where the secondary role conflicts with the subject's obligations to the primary organization, reduces availability during contracted working hours, creates a conflict of interest, or increases the risk of unauthorized use or disclosure of organizational information.

This infringement may involve a subject conducting external work during primary working hours, using organization-owned devices or accounts for secondary employment, misrepresenting availability, submitting false timesheets, or transferring knowledge, materials, contacts, or work product between roles. In more serious cases, the secondary employment may be with a competitor, supplier, customer, or entity seeking access to the organization's internal information, creating exposure to intellectual property theft, data loss, regulatory breach, or third-party collusion.
