Im already a full time employee of 42 hours per week.
But there is an interesting job offer by a company. I would like to keep my main job but in the remaining hours of the week or even weekends work for the 2nd one. Has anyone legally achieved this? Ofcourse the second job wont be fulltime but is there any specific contract type or something so that I could get the 2nd job with work load of 1 to 2 says per week?
Thanks
- Employment that don’t prevent you from working other jobs
- Employer’s permission if required

An employer wishing to proceed with recruitment must itself check that the worker’s jobs comply with law, for health reasons among others. The regulations on maximum working hours and minimum break times must be respected, even when adding together hours worked with different employers
I.e. the second employer is responsible for ensuring you don’t exceed the maximum allowed. Depending on the job this is usually 45 or 50 hours.
Almost certain you won’t be allow to do a 2nd job because of this.
Your permit is most likely tied to your employer and as such you are not allowed to work for anyone else nor are you allowed to be self-employed here.

And why would an employer go through the hoops of hiring a non EU person for only a couple of hours a week? As that is the most you might be able to work at all.
Company would still have to prove they can’t find a Swiss/EU national who could do the job and as roegner said for a few hours a week it simply wouldn’t be worth any employer’s time to apply for a permit.
Technically, a non-EU B permit holder can work part-time jobs during weekdays in Switzerland, subject to certain conditions. The B permit typically allows the holder to work for their sponsoring employer and in a specific occupation, but it may also allow for additional employment under certain circumstances.
To work part-time during weekdays, the non-EU B permit holder would need to obtain permission from the Swiss immigration authorities, as there are restrictions on the number of hours that can be worked while holding a B permit. The maximum number of hours allowed for additional employment is typically 15 hours per week, and the work must not be in competition with the local labor market or have a negative impact on the permit holder's primary employment. You may need to obtain permission from your primary employer as well, dependent on your contract.
It is important to note that the regulations and requirements for additional employment can vary depending on the canton in which the B permit was issued, so it is always best to check with the relevant immigration authorities for specific guidance.
So summary would suggest: speak to your primary employer and speak to the cantonal employment/immigration authorities, rather than a forum of people who haven't been in your position. From what I can find online, you need permission from the immigration authority to hold a second job; difficulty on getting the permission appears to depend on what the second job is and how many hours it is. Volunteer work at a local shelter may be easier to get approval for than an uber driver...
No, they’re not, but that doesn’t give them the right to work here.
Then that would mean the Swiss employer approaching a foreign company to do business with them and since it’s all out of Switzerland probably no permit required. But that’s not going to help the OP who’s based here.
Spinal you’re making an assumption the OP has a B permit when in fact they have an L permit. So any work outside of what they do already is a no no.
