outside work

Tasks performed outdoors

Outside work is employment or professional activity performed for someone other than one's primary employer.

The term often appears in employment contracts that restrict or require disclosure of such arrangements: The company prohibits outside work for competitors.

It can also mean work performed outdoors rather than inside a building: The outside work gets done in summer when the weather cooperates.
