Um, no. Unless your employee contracts states that you’ll tell them who you freelance for, don’t do it. If you have a noncompete they can initiate contact with your clients and then forbid you from further work with them. What state are you in?

I thought so too, I’m asking a lawyer. Thanks for the advice guys. I’ll post what the outcome is.

Unless you have something written in your contract that states otherwise, what you do on your time is none of their business.

Have them provide the list so you can tell them, without revealing your client names.

Tell them what they want to hear. And then get back to business. It's virtually impossible for people to find out about your freelance side action.

I’d love to get an attorney opinion on that. Given how it’s written, any type of relationship would have to be reported! Haha as if. No, you only have the responsibility to disclose if YOU suspect it competes. I don’t see anything that says you have to provide a list of all clients on request.

If you are forced to provide a list, keep it short - 1 to 3 clients - and make sure they don’t conflict with the clients at your FT job

I’m in NY, I only have a don’t compete within my own vertical in my contract.
