"In Spain the title of civil servant has long been a misleading. They are civil enough. But they rarely serve. Bureaucrats practiced moonlighting to such an extent it turned into SUNLIGHTING. It was not unusual for them to hold down two, sometimes three and in one case, a reliable source swears, four separate jobs."
(John Darnton, "Madrid's new working class: the bureaucrats," The New York Times, February 7, 1983)

Sunlighting
If you officially reduce your standard 5-day working week in order to take a second daytime job, then you are sunlighting.
Sunlighting is a way to kill two birds with one stone - your company reduces its staff costs and you get to follow an alternative ambition.
Note:
"Sunlighting" is a play on "moonlighting" which has been in the language since 1957 and means doing paid work in the evening or at night in addition to one's day job.
Sunlighting was first recorded in English in the The New York Times example given above in 1983.
