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 shall perform all installations and repairs in strict accordance with OSHA General Industry Standards and UL 325 safety standards for automatic residential and commercial garage door operators. Specifically, the Employee acknowledges the inherent risks associated with high-tension torsion springs and agrees to utilize appropriate safety winding bars and personal protective equipment at all times. Any deviation from these safety protocols that results in property damage or personal injury shall be considered a material breach of this Contract. The Employee further agrees to verify the functionality of all safety sensors and auto-reverse mechanisms on every installation to mitigate claims under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA).
In accordance with Fla. Stat. § 542.335, the Employee agrees that during the term of employment and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, they shall not engage in a competing garage door installation or repair business within the specified geographical radius. The Employee acknowledges that the Employer has a legitimate business interest in protecting its customer lists, proprietary R-value calculation methods, and specialized training provided for hurricane-rated door systems. This non-compete is deemed reasonable in time and area to protect the Employer's goodwill and confidential business information.
The Employee is responsible for ensuring that all garage door installations comply with the applicable Florida Building Code, including specific wind-load requirements for the jurisdiction of installation. The Employee shall ensure that all necessary local permits are verified or obtained before commencement of work. Failure to adhere to local building codes or the installation of non-compliant hardware that leads to code violations or structural failure during a wind event shall be grounds for immediate disciplinary action and potential indemnification of the Employer for resulting fines.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have executed this Employment Contract as of the date first written above, intending to be legally bound hereby.

In Florida's high-velocity hurricane zones, precision in garage door installation isn't just a preference—it's a legal and safety mandate. An employment contract tailored to a Garage Door Installer ensures that technicians are held to OSHA and UL 325 safety standards, particularly when handling high-tension torsion springs and track alignments. By integrating Florida-specific statutes regarding non-compete agreements (Fla. Stat. § 542.335) and minimum wage (Fla. Stat. § 448.110), you protect your business from common liabilities such as property damage, warranty disputes over R-value ratings, and regulatory code violations.
Yes, under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, non-compete clauses are enforceable provided they are reasonable in time, area, and scope, and protect a 'legitimate business interest' such as specialized training in torsion spring safety or trade secrets regarding proprietary installation techniques.
Contracts should explicitly mandate compliance with OSHA General Industry Standards and UL 325 for automatic openers. This shifts responsibility to the employee to follow safety protocols, mitigating employer liability for tension-related injuries or safety sensor failures.
Your contract should include an indemnity clause. Under Florida's civil liability framework, clearly defining that the installer is responsible for damage caused by negligence—such as improper track alignment or structural damage—protects the dealership from direct financial loss.
Yes, it includes provisions requiring the installer to adhere to Florida Building Code standards, ensuring all installations meet wind-load and structural integrity requirements specific to Florida’s coastal and inland zones.
