As a Florida Physical Therapist, your employment agreement must balance high-stakes clinical responsibilities with strict statutory compliance. From shielding your practice against patient injury claims through informed consent protocols to ensuring your non-compete clauses satisfy the 'legitimate business interest' test under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, a generic template is insufficient. This document provides the structural integrity needed to manage rehabilitation modalities, functional assessments, and documentation standards required for Medicare compliance while protecting your business under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Physical Therapist:

Liability waivers and informed consent forms detail risks associated with treatment, reducing the likelihood of successful negligent claims.
License revocation due to malpractice or ethical violations
Strict adherence to the code of ethics and maintaining comprehensive records/documentation to support care decisions.
Improper billing or insurance fraud
Standardized billing protocols and regular audits to ensure compliance with insurance and Medicare billing procedures.

Under Fla. Stat. § 542.335, non-compete agreements are only enforceable if they are reasonable in time, area, and line of business.
