working two jobs

[mark123]

I am looking to try and see about getting a welding job working two places. I was thinking of trying second sift at one and third at another. I was wondering, could I run into problems with benefits, working for two different companies? I know, I probably would need to talk to the companies, but I am just looking for an idea, to pursue. Thanks for the help. I know, it would be long hours.

Most likely they would not like you moonlighting. It would prevent you from doing overtime maybe.

Benefits should not matter. You could just pick the best package for medical and opt out of the other. Whatever you do I would not have two insurance companies at the same time. If you need a claim they might both deny coverage and point the finger at the other company. A woman friend had that happen when she got cancer during a job switch. There were two insurance companies and both denied coverage on $350K worth of bills.
