  • !Neglecting to specify state law governing the contract, which can create legal uncertainties.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How does the Massachusetts Wage Theft Act affect my roofing payroll?

Under M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148, roofing contractors must pay employees in a timely manner. If an employee is terminated, they must be paid in full on the day of discharge. Our contract includes specific wage payment clauses to help you avoid the treble damages and criminal penalties associated with violations of the MA Wage Act.

02

Are non-compete agreements enforceable for roofing crews in Massachusetts?

Per M.G.L. ch. 149, § 24L, non-compete agreements must meet strict criteria: they must be in writing, provided 10 days before employment starts, and include a 'garden leave' clause or other mutually agreed-upon consideration. This contract template is designed to help you navigate these 2018 reforms while protecting your client lists and proprietary technical methods.

03

How does this contract address OSHA fall protection and safety liability?

Since roofing is a high-hazard industry, the contract includes mandatory compliance with OSHA’s Construction Standards (29 CFR 1926). It stipulates that the employee must use provided safety gear (harnesses, anchors) and follow all fall protection protocols to mitigate the risk of injury and protect the company from licensing violations and insurance premium spikes.

04

Can I include a clause for lead-safe work practices?

Yes. For buildings built before 1978, the EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule applies. Our contract allows you to specify requirements for EPA Lead-Safe Certification for supervisors and installers to ensure the company remains compliant with environmental regulations while disturbing shingle or flashing surfaces.
