Legal Document
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 acknowledges that the Employer may perform work on residential properties and child-occupied facilities built prior to 1978. The Employee agrees to strictly adhere to all EPA Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule practices, including proper site containment, prohibited practices (such as open-flame burning), and specialized cleanup. Failure to follow Lead-Safe work practices as mandated by Federal law and Michigan environmental standards shall be grounds for immediate termination.
In accordance with the Michigan Right to Work law, MCL 423.209, the Employee’s employment is not conditioned upon the payment of any dues, fees, or assessments to a labor organization. Furthermore, the Employer shall provide the Employee access to their personnel records in compliance with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501), allowing the Employee to review or obtain copies of their file upon written request.
The Employee is responsible for ensuring all paint applications meet the manufacturer’s specifications for primers, coats, and drying times. The Employee must verify and adhere to all Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) regulations under the Clean Air Act on every job site. Before applying full coats, the Employee is required to obtain client verification of color and sheen matches; any costs associated with re-painting due to Employee's failure to verify color samples or ensure proper substrate preparation (sanding, scraping, priming) may result in disciplinary action.

In the Michigan painting industry, clear expectations regarding prep work, cleanup, and EPA compliance are vital. A standard agreement isn't enough when you face liabilities like lead-based paint exposure and property damage. Our contract generator solves these pain points by integrating Michigan-specific labor laws, such as the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act, with essential painting industry standards to protect your reputation and your business.
Yes, under MCL 445.774a, non-compete agreements are enforceable in Michigan if they are reasonable in duration, geographical scope, and line of business. Our template helps you define these parameters to protect your client list and proprietary techniques.
If your business works on Michigan homes built before 1978, the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule requires that your employees follow specific lead-safe practices. Your contract should explicitly state that compliance with these safety protocols is a condition of employment to mitigate your liability.
Yes, the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501) grants Michigan employees the right to review their personnel records. Including this in your contract ensures compliance and transparency from day one.
Our contract includes specific language regarding work quality and property protection. By defining what constitutes professional 'prep work' and 'touch-ups,' you create a legal basis for performance management if errors occur.
