Code § 1335.15 while protecting your business from liability related to property damage, safety violations, and the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act. This contract ensures your installers are trained in UL 325 standards and clearly understand their obligations regarding safety, equipment, and customer interactions.

Yes. Unless otherwise specified for a fixed term exceeding one year (which requires a written agreement under Ohio Rev. Code § 1335.05), employment in Ohio is generally 'at-will.' This contract explicitly reflects that status while outlining necessary notice periods and safety compliance requirements.
The agreement includes specific clauses requiring the employee to adhere to OSHA General Industry Standards and UL 325 protocols. It mandates the use of proper winding bars and personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of spring tension injuries.
The contract includes non-solicitation and confidentiality clauses designed to be reasonable in scope and duration, increasing the likelihood of enforceability under Ohio’s 'reasonableness test' used by state courts.
While the contract is between employer and employee, it includes indemnity and performance standards that require the installer to document pre-existing structural defects to prevent claims under the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act against the company.
