A regular clause in employment contracts.

agree Armorel Young : the best version, I think - perhaps "whether on a self-employed basis or otherwise"

outside employment or self-employment (for gain/profit)

Something along those lines. I think the main point is you need to get the meaning across (no moonlighting!); you can't really translate it literally.

Maybe just "paid outside employment or self-employment".
Peer comment(s):

agree Jim Tucker (X) : "gainful" also has excellent environmental credentials

self-employed or dependent secondary activity

Just thought I'd add this as an alternative.

Overcoming the obstacles faced by dependent employees who want to become self-employed and/or start their own business

A study by Roberto Pedersini in 2002, ‘Economically dependent workers’, employment law and industrial relations for the European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO), examines the boundaries between dependent employment and self employment. He notes the growing interest in ‘economically dependent workers’ - workers who are formally selfemployed
but depend on a single employer for their income.

As part of the study, Pedersini presents definitions of ‘dependent employment’ used in the EU Member States and Norway to define a worker’s employment status.

The growth in Italy of new forms of employment relationship midway between dependent work and self-employment - "coordinated" freelance work and consultancy, for example - has raised the problem of protecting the rights of these categories of workers.

will introduce forms of protection for those in work without permanent contracts of dependent employment, thereby bringing these workers closer to the "insiders" - that is, wage- and salary-earners.

Based on historical developments the distinction between “employment” and “self-employment” is a recurring feature of all European legal systems. There are parallel principles of the legal systems in the observed nations Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Italy and Sweden: while the dependent employment is ruled by labour law, the self-employment is governed by civil and commercial law. Apart from this conformity, we find great differences of the national social security law depending on welfare-state tradition.
