Protecting your coaching practice in Michigan requires more than a handshake; it requires a contract that strictly delineates the boundary between holistic goal setting and unlicensed medical advice. Under Michigan's regulatory landscape, coaches must ensure their employment agreements explicitly address scope of practice to avoid liability under health-related claims. This document ensures compliance with the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act regarding personnel records, while framing non-compete clauses within the reasonableness standards of MCL 445.774a to protect your business's proprietary wellness plans and client intake protocols.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Wellness Coach:
