What is it?

The Agreement for Hiring a Therapist as a Team Member is designed for licensed medical practitioners (only!) who are hiring a Therapist to join their team as a 1099 independent contractor.

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

This Agreement clearly outlines the Therapist’s services + how payment will be made.

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

• Can't solicit your clients or team members.
• Can't disclose information they learn about your practice.
• Can't use your IP or proprietary content for their own practice.
• Must follow all laws + regulations (like state nutrition + licensure laws).
• Is liable for their own actions - you’re not responsible.

Important Note: In some states, you may be required to hire a Therapist as an employee - not a contractor - based on restrictions from 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.
