With the cost of living on the rise, having a steady income is crucial. But sometimes even regular employment doesn’t cover all of the outgoing expenses you might have\u2014which are often multiplied if you’re living in a city or expensive area. Just like many other professions, pharmacy technicians might be feeling the financial squeeze right now.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there are also a multitude of other reasons that a pharmacy technician might want to work at more than one pharmacy. Whether it’s gaining experience in different environments or exploring future career options, <\/span>working as a pharmacy technician<\/span><\/a> can be an exciting path to take.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can pharmacy technicians work at more than one pharmacy?<\/span><\/h2>\n

While it might well be possible for techs to take on more than one role, there are several things that may complicate pharmacy technicians working at more than one pharmacy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Non-compete agreements<\/span><\/h3>\n

Non-compete agreements often come into play in the pharmacy world. <\/span>“You typically don’t see pharmacy technicians working for more than one chain pharmacy,\u201d <\/span>Christina M. Madison, Pharm.D<\/span><\/a>., founder and CEO of <\/span>The Public Health Pharmacist<\/span><\/a> explains. \u201cSome may have non-compete clauses in their employment agreements.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jenna Spell, Pharm.D.<\/span><\/a>, a pharmacist in <\/span>North Carolina<\/span>, agrees: “In my experience, large box retailers have some kind of non-compete stipulation for their employees.” <\/span>Guidelines on <\/span>non-compete clauses can vary from state to state<\/span><\/a>. If you’re unsure about your own position as a pharmacy technician, it’s important to check local guidelines, as well as any employment contracts you’ve already signed. If your contract doesn’t include a non-compete clause then, theoretically, working at a second pharmacy shouldn’t be a problem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hospital pharmacies<\/span><\/h3>\n

Many chain pharmacies include non-compete clauses in their contracts, but these clauses often only apply to their main rivals. So if you work for a national branded pharmacy, but would like to moonlight at a hospital pharmacy, for instance, this usually won’t cause a problem. “I have seen pharmacy technicians work in both a retail and hospital setting simultaneously,” Dr. Spell confirms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where a pharmacy tech works and conflicts of interest are often what’s important to an employer. It\u2019s rare that a non-compete clause would apply to working at both a hospital and a community pharmacy. “The possibility of working in both hospital and community pharmacy is a consideration,” Dr. Madison explains. “Some technicians choose to work in long-term care facilities as well.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Discouragement from employers<\/span><\/h3>\n

In any job, an employer likely hopes that their employees are focused solely on their main place of employment. As a result, you may find that your employer discourages you from working at more than one location at a time. Whether or not this is a policy, or simply a suggestion, is an important distinction to make. Be sure to check your employee handbook to see if it mentions it explicitly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why pharmacy techs might want a second job<\/span><\/h2>\n

Despite some workplaces discouraging moonlighting, cost of living increases might be forcing many individuals to work a second job. For instance, the <\/span>U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)<\/span><\/a> reported that between January 2024 and January 2025, there was a 2.5% increase in energy prices, and a 3% rise in food prices. Understandably, one salary isn’t always enough to cover a household’s outgoings.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s also important to note that, per the <\/span>U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)<\/span><\/a>, pharmacy technicians make an average of $43,460, which breaks down to an hourly rate of $20.90. While this varies depending on workplace and location, some pharmacy techs have been known to work more than one job to <\/span>bump up their salary<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final verdict<\/span><\/h2>\n

Whether or not a pharmacy technician can work at more than one pharmacy at a time seems to come down to two things \u2014 whether they’ve signed a contract containing a non-compete clause at their primary place of work, and whether local legislature prohibits doing so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While retail pharmacy chains appear to be more likely to include non-compete clauses in the contracts of their employees, independent community pharmacies and hospitals are often less strict. <\/span>Ultimately, the skill and training required of a pharmacy technician means that finding a job (or two) won’t be difficult. “Qualified pharmacy technicians are in high demand,” Dr. Madison says.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t work at another pharmacy, you still have options. You could ask your supervisor for more shifts, <\/span>explore additional certifications that could raise your salary<\/span><\/a>, teach a class for pharmacy technicians at a local college, or even look into positions with pharmacy software companies. With a little creativity, you can find a way to use your skills in a way that lets you earn the income you need.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
