As a California yoga studio owner, the distinction between independent contractors and employees is critical under AB 5. Misclassification can lead to severe penalties. This employment contract ensures your instructors and staff are correctly categorized using the ABC test, protects your studio from student injury liability through clear identification of duties, and maintains compliance with Cal. Lab. Code § 925 regarding forum selection. By outlining specific class pass administrative duties, workshop responsibilities, and mandatory Cal-OSHA safety protocols, you protect your business interests while fostering a professional environment for your yoga community.

For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
California's AB 5 (Cal. Lab. Code § 2750.3) uses the 'ABC test' to determine if a worker is an employee or contractor. Most yoga instructors performing core studio services are classified as employees. This contract is designed to formalize that relationship, ensuring you meet minimum wage (FLSA) and state-specific payroll requirements.
In California, non-compete agreements are generally void under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 16600-16602. Instead of an unenforceable non-compete, this contract focuses on lawful non-solicitation of your student database and the protection of proprietary workshop curriculum to safeguard your studio's intellectual property.
