Every company is different as far as employment contracts. Most consulting firms say you cannot hold another job, but I’ve never seen it enforced.

They usually don’t care as long as you are still getting your work done and not using their IP. Consulting firms also add to their contracts that anything you come up with, work related or not, is their IP because they pay you to think. I’d just ask HR or dig up your contract.
