Operating a dental practice in California requires more than just clinical excellence; it demands rigorous legal compliance. From navigating the 'ABC test' for worker classification under AB 5 to ensuring your staff adheres to Cal-OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and HIPAA privacy rules, a specialized employment contract is your first line of defense. This document protects your practice from patient injury liability, clarifies the scope of practice for dental hygienists, and ensures that restrictive covenants comply with California's strict prohibition on non-compete agreements under Business and Professions Code Section 16600.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Dental Office Owner:

Implement robust privacy policies and employee training programs to ensure compliance with data protection laws.
OSHA non-compliance

The contract specifies that employees must strictly adhere to the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, including the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and following the office's exposure control plan to mitigate patient injury and liability risks.
Yes. It incorporates requirements for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regarding how staff handles sensitive patient health information and personal data, complementing your federal HIPAA compliance obligations.
