Is there anything in your contract with your current employer which says that you cannot do any other paid work?
If they have gone to the length of tying you in for two years I would be surprised if there wasn't something else which says that you can't do any other work.
Not that I have seen no! It's two years due to course training costs (courses which were forced upon me during probation period which if I didn't take the course, I wouldn't of passed probation. and its to the tune of ÂŁ3k!)
If there was something in there, I guess would be a case of what they don't know won't hurt them... Just dont let it get in the way of the bread and butter so to speak
