That extra money can mean making the mortgage. This is commendable and shows financial initiative on the part of the worker that juggles two jobs. However, there are concerns from the employer\u2019s perspective: possible exposure of trade secrets, fatigued and exhausted employees, and potential use of company resources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side Jobs on Your Time<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But if he\u2019s using your truck and tools to work this second job, that\u2019s far less laudable. It\u2019s cutting into your bottom line and needs to be stopped.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a plumber might be taking on side jobs in the evening after normal working hours. You may not have a problem with that, except if he\u2019s taken your truck and tools to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Another case is a limo driver driving friends to the prom for free\u2014in your vehicle, on your time, with your gas.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Reduce Non-Authorized Use<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/fleet+management.html\">GPS fleet management tools<\/a> can help you get a handle on assets going out the door or workers doubling up on two jobs. The problem is especially common in the trades and in route jobs.<\/p>\n<p>The problem has escalated with the higher number of private contractors and the lower numbers of full time employees. Among other things, this results in a worker who identifies less with the company\u2019s agenda and more with his own.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/fleet+tracking.html\">GPS fleet tracking devices<\/a> help you monitor the use of vehicles 24 hours a day, in real time, and check where your employees are during their regular shifts.<\/p>\n<p>It might seem like an hour here or there of personal use of the company vehicle can\u2019t cause a problem, the statistics disagree. Just one hour a day can add 15% to truck maintenance costs. And that hour is one you are paying a worker to work for someone else, increasing your labor costs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What GPS Does<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>GPS devices pinpoint the location of any vehicle in your fleet 24\/7\/365. You can track use of individual vehicles and where specific employees are with just a click.<\/p>\n<p>With GPS software, you have the ability to audit the personal use of your trucks. Since they provide second-by-second tracking of vehicles, there is never a time you have to guess where your assets are.<\/p>\n<p>Many let you program them to issues alerts when the vehicle is used after hours. These are sent to you or whoever is on support via emails or text messaging.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest ways they help is by cutting back on fuel costs. You can track mileage and estimate fuel costs. If it looks worrisome, you can check if the worker is also filling up the gas tank using the company fuel card.<\/p>\n<p>And you keep tabs on how your workers are spending company time, when they are getting paid by you to do the business of your firm, not someone else\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveviewgps.com\/Contact+Us.html\">Contact us at Live View GPS<\/a> to discuss how GPS fleet tracking can eliminate employee moonlighting in your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How GPS Tracking Can Eliminate Employee Side Jobs Moonlighting is a fact of life for nearly five percent of American Labor, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
