What is it?

The Agreement for Hiring a Coach as a Team Member is designed for business owners who are hiring a Coach to join their team as a 1099 independent contractor.

It allows you to feel clear and comfortable bringing a Coach onto your team.

This Agreement clearly outlines the Coach’s services + how payment will be made - like whether the Coach will:

• Have 1-on-1 calls with clients/patients.
• Lead group calls on Zoom.
• Communicate in forums or social media groups with clients.
• Do sales/discovery calls with prospective clients.
• Participate in team meetings.
• And much more.

It spells out restrictions to protect you, like, the Coach:

• Can't solicit your clients or team members.
• Can't disclose information they learn about your business.
• Can't use your IP or proprietary content for their own business.
• Must follow all laws + regulations (like state nutrition + licensure laws).
• Can’t give medical advice or use a medical title while serving as a Coach.
• Is liable for their own actions - you’re not responsible.
• Must have professional liability insurance.

Important Note: In some states, you may be required to hire a Coach as an employee - not a contractor - based on restrictions from nutrition laws or employment laws. Please talk with us if you have questions. Do not use this agreement for hiring a part-time or full-time employee - consult a lawyer and accountant for the right paperwork.
