I am considering going back to being a full-time (seishein) employee but I have a side business (株式会社) that is generating a little income for me and would like to retain the flexibility to start/do other projects. I am already a permanent resident so there are no visa complications but I am wondering if an employer can legally restrict any additional personally owned income-generating opportunities.
Assuming there is no conflict of interest with the company and I won't have an employee status on these projects, such as moonlighting at a conbini as an arubaito, can they restrict my external income activities if they fall under a business I own or am a shareholder/executive member of? Would I be legally required to notify the company of these outside businesses?
