In the high-stakes world of Michigan real estate, home staging involves unique risks—from handling luxury staging inventory to managing occupied staging conditions. A generic contract isn't enough. Our builder incorporates Michigan-specific protections, including MCL 445.774a for non-compete reasonableness and Bullard-Plawecki disclosure rights. Whether you are hiring a lead stager or an inventory manager, this document mitigates liabilities regarding property damage and ensures your MLS photo rights remain protected under governing Michigan law.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Home Staging Professional:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Property Damage
Contracts typically include clauses that limit liability for accidental damage to client property, or specify responsibilities for repairs and replacements.
Personal Injury
Staging contracts often include hold harmless or indemnification clauses protecting the stager from injuries sustained by the client, visitors, or third parties during the staging process.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), Michigan employees have the legal right to review their personnel records. Your employment contract should acknowledge this right and establish a procedure for file review to ensure compliance with state labor transparency laws.
Yes, but they must be 'reasonable.' Per MCL 445.774a, Michigan courts evaluate non-competes based on duration, geographical area, and the specific line of business. Our contract helps you define these parameters to protect your client list and staging techniques without violating Michigan's reasonableness standards.
Absolutely. It includes specific clauses regarding property damage mitigation and mandates adherence to OSHA safety standards for physical activities common in staging, such as ladder use and furniture relocation, which is critical for protecting the employer from workplace injury claims.
Ownership of intellectual property, specifically MLS photos and design portfolios, is a primary pain point in home staging. This contract explicitly defines the employer’s ownership of all 'work made for hire,' ensuring your business retains the rights to marketing materials even after the employment term ends.
