In Michigan, a dietitian's employment relationship requires more than just salary terms. To protect your practice, you must address specific risks including dietary advice liability and allergic reaction claims. This contract is engineered to comply with the Michigan Consumer Protection Act and Michigan’s non-compete reasonableness standards (MCL 445.774a). By clearly defining the scope of nutritional assessment and macros management, you prevent unauthorized practice of medicine claims while ensuring full HIPAA compliance for patient consultations.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Dietitian:

Yes. Under the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), every Michigan employment contract should implicitly or explicitly acknowledge the employee's right to review their personnel file. Our template ensures your HR practices don't conflict with these statutory rights.
Under MCL 423.209, you cannot require a dietitian to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment in Michigan. This contract is structured to remain compliant with these labor protections.
Michigan law (MCL 445.774a) allows non-compete agreements provided they are 'reasonable' in duration, geographic scope, and the line of business. For dietitians, this usually means limiting the restriction to a specific radius from the nutrition clinic or hospital and focusing on the solicitation of existing clients.
The contract includes specific professional scope clauses that distinguish nutritional advice from medical diagnosis, ensuring compliance with both the FDA's Title 21 CFR Part 101 and Michigan's health professional licensing standards.
