In Massachusetts, the distinction between a handyman and a licensed contractor is critical for liability and tax compliance. This contract protects your business by explicitly defining the scope of work within MA licensing limits, establishing clear punch list expectations, and ensuring adherence to the Massachusetts Wage Act (M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148). By documenting property damage limits and materials markup policies upfront, you mitigate risks of 'scope creep' and Chapter 93A consumer protection claims while providing the mandatory EPA Lead-Safe disclosures for older Commonwealth properties.
Under M.G.L. ch. 149, § 24L, any non-compete clause for a handyman must be in writing, signed by both parties, and provided to the employee at least 10 business days before employment begins. It must also include a 'garden leave' clause or other mutually agreed-upon consideration to be enforceable.
M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148 requires that hourly employees be paid weekly or bi-weekly within six days of the termination of the pay period. If a handyman is terminated, they must be paid all earned wages, including accrued vacation time, on the day of discharge.
Yes. Since much of the Massachusetts housing stock was built before 1978, this contract includes provisions for EPA Lead-Safe Certification compliance to protect both the employer and employee from heavy fines related to lead paint disturbance.
To prevent disputes over materials markup—a common industry pain point—this contract allows you to specify whether materials are billed at cost or with a defined percentage markup, and it clearly outlines when service call fees or estimates apply.
