Ohio courts follow the 'reasonableness' standard for non-compete and non-solicitation clauses. To be enforceable, the restriction must not be greater than required for the protection of the employer, must not impose undue hardship on the wellness coach, and must not be injurious to the public. This contract includes specific language to balance these interests under Ohio Rev. Code requirements.
While wellness coaches are often not 'covered entities' under HIPAA, they handle sensitive personal health information (PHI). This contract includes confidentiality clauses that align with best practices and the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act to ensure client data is protected, regardless of the coach's clinical status.
Under Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 1335.15 and § 1335.05 (Statute of Frauds), any agreement that cannot be performed within one year from the date of making must be in writing and signed to be legally enforceable. This document ensures your long-term employment relationships meet these statutory thresholds.
We incorporate specific 'Scope of Practice' and 'Results Disclaimer' clauses. These clarify that wellness plans and goal setting are advisory, not prescriptive, and that the coach is not a licensed healthcare provider in the state of Ohio, thereby reducing the risk of claims involving unlicensed practice of medicine.
