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 agrees to strictly adhere to all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and the EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) regarding the handling, storage, and disposal of chlorine, muriatic acid, and other hazardous pool chemicals. Failure to maintain accurate chemical logs or proper PPE usage shall constitute a material breach of this contract. Employee assumes responsibility for ensuring that no chemicals or wastewater are discharged into Michigan public waters in violation of the CWA.
The Employee acknowledges that pool servicing carries inherent risks of drowning and property damage. Upon completion of any weekly service, winterization, or maintenance visit, the Employee must verify that all pool safety barriers (fences, latches, and alarms) are secured. Any discovered equipment failures, such as leaking pumps or faulty filters, must be documented immediately in the company maintenance log to mitigate water damage liability according to standard industry practice.
Pursuant to the Michigan Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act, the Employee has the right to review their personnel file upon written request. Furthermore, in accordance with the Michigan Right to Work law (MCL 423.209), the Employee acknowledges that union membership or the payment of dues is not a condition of their employment with the Company. Both parties agree that this contract is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan.

Running a pool service company in Michigan requires balancing seasonal labor demands with strict safety standards. This employment contract is specifically engineered for the unique liabilities of our industry—from hazardous chemical handling and drowning prevention to Michigan’s Bullard-Plawecki record-keeping requirements. By using a specialized agreement, you mitigate risks of equipment failure disputes and ensure compliance with Michigan’s Right to Work laws while protecting your customer list from solicitation.
Your contract should explicitly state that employees must comply with all OSHA and EPA Clean Water Act (CWA) guidelines for chemical balance and waste disposal. In Michigan, you should also include a requirement for employees to maintain any specialized training or CPO (Certified Pool & Spa Operator) certifications as a condition of their employment.
Under MCL 445.774a, non-compete agreements are enforceable in Michigan provided they are reasonable in duration, geographical scope, and the type of business protected. For the pool industry, this typically means preventing a technician from soliciting your specific customer route rather than banning them from the entire industry.
The Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act (MCL 423.501) gives your pool technicians the legal right to inspect their personnel records. Your employment contract should reference this right and establish the procedure for record requests to ensure your business remains compliant with Michigan state law.
Yes. Under MCL 423.209, you cannot require a service technician to join a union or pay union dues as a condition of employment. This contract is designed to be fully compliant with Michigan's Right to Work status.
