Probably depends on the nature of the job.  When you're salaried, they can't/don't hold you to any specific number of hours, but if you work hourly they can and do.

What you describe is certainly true of sales, but for most jobs you have to put in the time to produce what's expected of you.  So, for instance, I work in software development, and I generally end up having to work more than 40 hours for each job I have to keep up with the load.

In general, however, unless you're shorting an employer or there's a conflict of interest where you're working for a competitor in the same industry or, even worse, causing trade secrets to leak from one competitor to another.

Definately, if you’re an hourly wage earner, there’s an understanding that they pay you for hours worked, but I’m guessing the OP is not, or he wouldn’t be able to run a second job.

You could probably do it if one job is hourly and the other is not, but two hourly jobs are a bit tough to pull off.

I did this for decades, at times that could have been deemed a violation of contract.  But I didn’t fail to perform my main job.  The reason was because I couldn’t possibly survive on the salary!
