As a Massachusetts moving company owner, your crew handles high-value property and faces significant physical risks. Our employment contract template solves industry-specific pain points like valuation disputes and property damage liability while ensuring strict compliance with M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148 (Wage Act) and the 2018 Noncompete Reform (M.G.L. ch. 149, § 24L). Protect your USDOT authority and state-issued mover's license by defining clear expectations for Bill of Lading accuracy, packing material inventory, and the safe operation of commercial vehicles under FMCSA guidelines.
Under M.G.L. ch. 149, § 24L, any non-compete clause in your moving contract must include a 'garden leave' provision or other mutually agreed-upon consideration. For hourly movers and non-exempt employees, standard non-competes are generally unenforceable in MA; however, you can still include enforceable non-solicitation clauses to protect your client list and inventory processes.
Per M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148, any employee terminated involuntarily must be paid all earned wages in full—including accrued vacation time—on their final day. Failure to do so can result in triple damages and attorney fees under the Massachusetts Wage Act.

It outlines the employee’s responsibility for documenting the condition of goods on the Bill of Lading to mitigate the risk of property damage claims and valuation disputes.
Yes. It includes specific job descriptions requiring compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), including maintenance of medical cards, hours-of-service compliance, and proper use of packing materials to prevent transit damage.
