I would think it was the same in NL.
> Under the Arbeidstijdenwet (Law on Working Hours), you must inform all your employers about your working hours. Your employer is liable for contraventions of the Arbeidstijdenwet. If you contravene, your employer may be fined. Even if he is not aware of your second job. [1]
Curiously though, it appears there are a number of cases in which the law doesn’t apply: for employees who earn 3x minimum wage or more, professional sporters, researchers, theatrical professionals, medical professionals, military personnel, summer camp guides, and volunteers. [2]

You also can't have two full-time jobs without you violating labor laws or defrauding your employer. Since if you aren't defrauding one employer you would have to work 16 hours a day, which you can not do for 5 days a week in a row. And there is no way to actually hide that your are doing this. Employers are forced to pay certain taxes for employing you which can't be payed by two different companies for the same thing.
