QUESTION ON EMPLOYEE CONTRACTS

Larry,

I have a question, do you have employee contracts that salons can use a templates? Thank you

Although I have seen many contracts, I cannot provide an example. Contracts are a matter of law and lawyers get a little excited when non-lawyers step into their territory. There have even been some attempts (fortunately unsuccessful) by the ABA to ban accountants from giving tax advice. Their rational is that tax law is law, and therefore anyone charging for tax advice is practicing law without a license.

Additionally, laws vary from state to state and community to community. What might be a good agreement in one location may not work in another. Most importantly, if there is ever a lawsuit you would want the attorney that drew up the contract to stand behind his work representing the salon owner in court. I think that you can see the problem.

Ken Cassidy has a contract for sale on his website: www.kassidys.com. He does make you sign a disclaimer before he will send it to you. My advice if someone is using a “canned” program is to have their attorney review the contract and get their approval.

It is a pleasure serving you.
