Employee Contract
Are you looking to hire someone to come work for you in your office and want to control their hours, what they work on, and potentially give them a non-compete with other work? Hiring committed employees has been crucial to the success of The Legal Paige and is a great step for scaling your own business. But, it can also open you up to a lot of risks, liabilities, and potential nightmares. What if they say you wrongfully terminated them? Or they steal your ideas and create their own identical business? Solicit your customers? Or keep taking time off that doesn’t align with your PTO policies?
In the whirlwind that is interviewing and hiring, the last thing you have time to do is draft up a legally legit contract that protects you and your new hire(s) from sticky situations. Enter the TLP Employee Contract- outsource with confidence knowing that your business is protected!
