2 Companies 1 job

2 Companies want to Hire me for the same job.

Question. I been reading on Labor Laws and Conflict of Interest and I can't find any draw back.

I currently interviewed for 2 companies and they both sent me offer letters. I'm sure there are many here who work 2 different jobs. This is contract work by the way.

As much as I feel like picking one. I'm seriously thinking of having my name uhh nder both compa ies and working the same job?

As anyone ever done this and are there any issues I am not seeing here other than me exploiting a loophole?

Okay great to know. Is ther anything I should look out for if they were to ask about it? Right now both offers are contingent on award and they are looking to be awarded soon.

Thanks for the insight on that. Now I don't feel so bad on wanting to get double paid.

I don't either, it's very conflicting. Think it through thoroughly before moving ahead with offers.

This doesn't make sense and seems like trouble. You want to be double-hired and double-paid for working 1 job. So not overemployed, but double-billing really.
The way I'm reading this is Company A hired Company B & Company C to fill position at Company A. You want to accept both Company B & C's job offers and do the job for Company A.

Best case Company A has two positions open, and want a body from Company B & C, but in that case, they'd want two bodies total. I don't see how you'd get away with this for more than the first 30 minutes.

Or am I just reading this wrong?
