KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, [principal_name] (the "Principal"), a resident of the State of [state_law], being of sound mind and under no duress, do hereby make, constitute, and appoint [agent_name] (the "Agent" or "Attorney-in-Fact") as my true and lawful Agent, to act for me and in my name, place, and stead, with respect to the powers and authority described herein.
WHEREAS, the Principal desires to appoint the Agent to act on the Principal's behalf with respect to certain matters, as more particularly described herein; and
WHEREAS, the Agent is willing to accept such appointment and to act in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this instrument; and
WHEREAS, the Principal intends this Power of Attorney to be governed by the laws of the State of [state_law] and all applicable provisions of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Principal hereby declares and grants this Power of Attorney as follows:
The Principal hereby appoints [agent_name] as the Principal's Attorney-in-Fact (the "Agent"). The Agent shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters described in this instrument, subject to any limitations expressly set forth herein. The Agent shall exercise such powers in a fiduciary capacity, in good faith, and in the best interests of the Principal at all times. The Agent shall act with the care, competence, and diligence ordinarily exercised by agents in similar circumstances and shall not engage in any self-dealing or conflict of interest unless expressly authorized herein.
The authority granted to the Agent under this Power of Attorney is designated as follows and shall be construed in accordance with the applicable type of authority selected below.
Subject to the type of authority designated above, the Principal hereby grants the Agent the following specific powers and authority: [powers_granted] The Agent shall exercise the foregoing powers prudently and in the Principal's best interests. In the event of any ambiguity regarding the scope of the powers granted herein, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of granting the Agent the authority reasonably necessary to carry out the Principal's stated intentions. The Agent may employ and compensate, at the Principal's expense, such professionals, advisors, accountants, and attorneys as the Agent deems reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of the Agent's duties hereunder.
This Power of Attorney shall become effective as of 2026-04-07, subject to any springing provisions described in Section 2 above.
This Power of Attorney shall expire and terminate automatically on 2026-04-07, unless sooner revoked by the Principal or terminated by operation of law. Upon the expiration date, the Agent's authority under this instrument shall cease immediately, and the Agent shall have no further power to act on the Principal's behalf. Any actions taken by the Agent after the expiration date shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any third party who receives a copy of this Power of Attorney, whether original, photocopy, or electronically transmitted, may rely upon the authority granted herein and may act in accordance with the Agent's instructions without liability to the Principal or the Principal's estate, heirs, or assigns. No third party shall be required to inquire into the validity or continuing effectiveness of this instrument, nor shall any third party be liable for acting in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney. A third party who refuses to honor this Power of Attorney may be liable for attorneys' fees and damages as provided by applicable law. The Principal hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any third party who acts in good faith reliance upon the representations and authority of the Agent under this instrument.
The Principal reserves the right to revoke, amend, or modify this Power of Attorney at any time, provided that the Principal has the legal capacity to do so. Any revocation, amendment, or modification shall be in writing and shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to the Agent and to any third party who has previously relied upon this instrument. Until a third party receives actual written notice of revocation, such third party may continue to rely upon the authority granted herein and shall not be liable for any actions taken in good faith reliance upon this Power of Attorney prior to receiving such notice. Upon revocation, the Agent shall promptly return to the Principal all documents, records, property, and funds in the Agent's possession or control that belong to or relate to the affairs of the Principal.
This Power of Attorney shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of [state_law], including but not limited to the Uniform Power of Attorney Act as adopted by the State of [state_law] and any amendments thereto. The Principal consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of [state_law] for the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this instrument. If any provision of this Power of Attorney is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, such provision shall be severed from this instrument and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
The Agent is hereby granted specific authority to act on behalf of the Principal in all matters pertaining to compliance with California Labor Code requirements, including but not limited to Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3 and 3351 (AB 5 worker classification), and occupational safety standards as mandated by Cal-OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Act). This includes the power to implement training, procure safety equipment, and address any citations or investigations related to chemical exposure or workplace safety. Furthermore, the Agent shall ensure adherence to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidelines for the proper use and disposal of cleaning chemicals to prevent environmental hazards, and to respond to environmental compliance inquiries.
The Agent is authorized to manage and mitigate common liabilities arising from the cleaning services industry, including 'Property Damage Liability' and 'Theft Claims.' This authority extends to initiating and defending legal actions, negotiating settlements within specified limits, and ensuring compliance with 'indemnification clauses' within 'recurring contracts' or 'move-out clean' agreements. The Agent may also act to resolve 'Contractual Pain Points' such as 'Scope of Work Clarity' or 'Payment Terms and Conditions' disputes, including engaging legal counsel and signing dispute resolution agreements, subject to the provisions of Cal. Civ. Code § 1624 concerning contracts required to be in writing.
The Agent shall have the power to maintain, negotiate, and execute all necessary agreements concerning 'commercial cleaning,' 'janitorial,' and 'deep clean' services. This includes managing client communications, addressing service complaints, and enforcing 'Cancellation and Renewal Clauses'. The Agent is empowered to act in the best interest of the Principal's business to ensure uninterrupted operation, uphold client satisfaction, and safeguard the Principal's professional reputation, particularly under circumstances that may impact service delivery or client trust.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Power of Attorney on the date first written above.

As a cleaning company owner in California, unforeseen circumstances can arise. A Power of Attorney (POA) ensures your business operations, from managing recurring contracts and financial transactions to addressing worker classification or property damage claims, continue seamlessly even if you're unavailable. This document empowers a trusted agent to act on your behalf, protecting your assets and reputation in a state with complex compliance, including Cal-OSHA, CCPA, and AB5.
California has unique legal requirements, such as AB 5 regarding worker classification (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3 and 3351), non-compete prohibitions (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 16600-16602), and specific environmental regulations. A California-specific POA ensures your agent's authority is recognized and compliant with these state-specific statutes, preventing legal challenges and maintaining business continuity amidst potential issues like property damage liability or chemical exposure claims.
Yes, if explicitly granted within the 'Powers Granted' clause. Your POA can authorize your agent to ensure compliance with occupational safety standards (Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)) for chemical handling and worker safety, as well as Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidelines for chemical use and disposal. This is crucial for mitigating risks associated with chemical exposure and maintaining operational legality.
A well-drafted POA can grant your agent the authority to negotiate, sign, or modify contracts, addressing common pain points such as 'Scope of Work Clarity,' 'Payment Terms,' and 'Cancellation and Renewal Clauses.' This ensures that your business can continue to secure and manage 'commercial cleaning' or 'janitorial' contracts, resolving disputes without your direct involvement and preventing disruptions to 'recurring contract' services.
With a comprehensive POA, your designated agent can manage these critical issues. They can cooperate with investigations regarding 'theft claims,' implement measures like employee bonding, and address 'worker classification issues' in accordance with California's AB 5, ensuring your business remains compliant and liabilities are mitigated even in your absence.
