This Employment Contract ("Agreement") is entered into and made effective as of 2026-04-07 (the "Effective Date"), by and between [employer_name] ("Employer") and [employee_name] ("Employee"), collectively referred to herein as the "Parties" and individually as a "Party."
WHEREAS, Employer desires to employ Employee in the capacity of [job_title], and Employee desires to accept such employment, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, the Parties wish to establish the terms of Employee's employment, including compensation, duties, and obligations, to ensure a clear mutual understanding;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, promises, and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
Employer hereby employs Employee in the position of [job_title]. Employee shall perform all duties and responsibilities customarily associated with such position, as well as any additional duties reasonably assigned by Employer from time to time. Employee shall devote their full professional time, attention, and best efforts to the performance of their duties and shall act in the best interests of Employer at all times. Employee shall comply with all policies, procedures, rules, and regulations established by Employer, as may be amended from time to time at Employer's sole discretion.
In consideration of the services rendered by Employee under this Agreement, Employer shall pay Employee a gross annual salary of [salary] (the "Base Salary"), payable on a [pay_frequency] basis in accordance with Employer's standard payroll practices, less all applicable withholdings, deductions, and taxes as required by law. Employer reserves the right to review and adjust Employee's compensation at its discretion, and any such adjustment shall not constitute a new agreement or modification of this Agreement unless set forth in a written amendment signed by both Parties.
Employee may be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements that Employer makes available to its employees generally, subject to the terms and eligibility requirements of such plans. Such benefits may include, but are not limited to, health insurance, dental and vision coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, and other fringe benefits. Employer reserves the right to modify, amend, or terminate any benefit plan or program at any time, in its sole discretion, with or without notice, subject to applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of any particular benefit.
Employee's primary work location and schedule shall be as set forth in this section, subject to modification by Employer as business needs require.
Employee's employment under this Agreement shall commence on 2026-04-07 (the "Start Date").
This Agreement and Employee's employment may be terminated under the following circumstances:
Employee acknowledges that during the course of employment, Employee will have access to and may acquire knowledge of confidential and proprietary information belonging to Employer, including but not limited to trade secrets, business plans, financial information, customer lists, marketing strategies, product designs, software, technical data, and other information not generally known to the public (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Employee agrees to hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not to disclose, publish, or otherwise reveal any Confidential Information to any third party during or after employment, except as required in the performance of Employee's duties or as authorized in writing by Employer. Employee agrees not to use any Confidential Information for Employee's own benefit or for the benefit of any third party. This obligation of confidentiality shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Employee's employment for any reason.
During the term of Employee's employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly: (a) solicit, recruit, or attempt to induce any employee, contractor, or consultant of Employer to leave Employer's employment or engagement; or (b) solicit, divert, or attempt to divert any customer, client, or business relationship of Employer for the purpose of providing products or services that are competitive with those offered by Employer. Employee acknowledges that this non-solicitation covenant is reasonable in scope and duration and is necessary to protect Employer's legitimate business interests.
Upon termination of employment for any reason, or at any time upon Employer's request, Employee shall immediately return to Employer all property belonging to Employer, including but not limited to keys, access cards, identification badges, laptops, mobile devices, documents, files, records, manuals, software, data (in any form or medium), and any other materials or equipment provided to Employee or created by Employee during the course of employment. Employee shall not retain any copies, duplicates, reproductions, or excerpts of any Employer property or Confidential Information.
This Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of [state_law], without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of [state_law], and each Party hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and signed by both Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that Party's right to enforce that provision or any other provision in the future. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision.
The Employee agrees to strictly adhere to all sanitation requirements established by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Failure to maintain a sanitary workstation, properly disinfect tools (including the use of EPA-registered disinfectants), or follow blood-borne pathogen protocols as required by Texas state law shall constitute a material breach of this contract and may result in immediate termination for cause.
Pursuant to Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, the Employee acknowledges that the Shop's client database, appointment books, and digital booking records are trade secrets belonging solely to the Employer. For a period of twelve (12) months following termination, the Employee shall not directly or indirectly solicit, divert, or take away any client who received services at the Shop during the Employee's tenure. This provision is intended to protect the Employer’s legitimate business interest in its established goodwill and client relationships.
Employment with the Shop is 'At-Will,' meaning either the Employer or Employee may terminate the relationship at any time, with or without cause or notice, consistent with Texas law. The Employee further acknowledges that services provided to clients must comply with the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices-Consumer Protection Act (DTPA), and the Employee agrees to indemnify the Employer against any claims arising from the Employee's gross negligence, intentional misconduct, or failure to perform services with the standard of care expected in the Texas barbering industry.

Running a barber shop in Texas involves more than just great fades; it requires protecting your business from walk-out risks and liability. A customized employment contract ensures compliance with Texas at-will employment principles while strictly enforcing the sanitation standards required by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). By clearly defining booth rental versus employment terms and securing client list protections under the Texas Business and Commerce Code, you safeguard your shop's reputation and long-term revenue.
Yes, but they must comply with Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50. This means the restriction must be reasonable in time, geographical area, and scope of activity, and must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement, such as protecting your proprietary client lists and specialized training.
An employee typically receives a W-2, uses shop-provided supplies, and follows a schedule set by the owner. A booth renter (independent contractor) usually pays flat rent and manages their own taxes and supplies. Misclassifying these roles can lead to significant penalties under the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) guidelines.
Yes. Our contract includes specific provisions requiring the barber to adhere to all OSHA workplace safety standards and Texas State Board cosmetology/barbering sanitation mandates to mitigate your liability for license violations or client injury claims.
