Operating a Texas daycare requires more than just standard employment terms; it demands a contract that addresses the high-stakes environment of child care. This agreement protects your center by establishing 'at-will' employment under Texas Labor Code § 21.051, reinforcing strict adherence to staff-to-child ratios, and ensuring mandatory background checks as required by the Child Care and Development Block Grant Act. By using this document, you mitigate risks related to licensing violations and child injury liability while ensuring your non-compete clauses meet the specific 'ancillary' requirements of Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Daycare Center Owner:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Staff background checks
Use of rigorous pre-employment screening processes detailed in employment agreements.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
While Texas is an at-will state, daycare owners should explicitly state this in the contract to maintain flexibility. However, you must still comply with Tex. Lab. Code § 21.051 regarding non-discrimination and federal ADA requirements when making any termination decisions.
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, a non-compete must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. This contract is structured to provide the necessary consideration—such as specialized training in child safety and curriculum—to make these restrictive covenants enforceable.
Yes. This contract treats compliance with state-mandated staff-to-child ratios as a core job duty. This allows for disciplinary action or termination if an employee jeopardizes your facility's licensing through negligence in classroom monitoring.
Our contract includes clauses requiring mandatory reporting and adherence to the training protocols outlined in your compliance manuals, mitigating liability as per Health and Human Services (HHS) and State Licensing standards.
