Navigating the intersection of Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50 and the clinical requirements of ASHA certification requires a specialized approach. As a Speech Therapist in Texas, your employment agreement must address the nuances of telehealth practice, IDEA compliance, and strict insurance billing standards. This document ensures you are protected against treatment outcome liabilities while securing your rights under Texas at-will employment laws, clearly defining IEP responsibilities, articulation treatment plans, and fluency goals to prevent scope-of-practice disputes.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Speech Therapist:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Treatment outcome liability
Use clear disclaimers in treatment agreements, emphasizing uncertainties in treatment results and not guaranteeing specific outcomes.
HIPAA compliance violations
Include clauses on data protection practices in contracts and ensure a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is signed if sharing patient information with third parties.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 15.50, non-compete agreements for SLPs must be ancillary to an otherwise enforceable agreement. Because Texas courts scrutinize these heavily, our contract ensures the restriction is reasonable in scope, time, and geography to protect your career while respecting the employer's business interest.
The contract includes specific data protection and confidentiality clauses that align with Texas Business & Commerce Code requirements for disposing of business records and HHS OCR standards for HIPAA. It ensures that telepractice services are explicitly covered, protecting you from liabilities related to data breaches or non-compliant communication platforms.
Yes. It incorporates provisions for Tex. Lab. Code § 62 regarding minimum wage and overtime, while emphasizing accurate Medicare and insurance billing documentation. This helps mitigate risks of billing errors by defining precisely what constitutes a billable service hour vs. administrative IEP development time.
The agreement includes an 'Identification of Job Duties' and a 'Dispute Resolution' clause. These sections clarify that while you must follow professional standards (ASHA, CCC-SLP), you do not guarantee specific clinical outcomes, protecting you from treatment outcome liability under Texas consumer protection frameworks.
