Refer to your contract. Is the term of your employment coming to an end or are you being terminated prior to that date. Check if your contract has a notice period. Even if there is a notice period, your agreement will specify whether you can be terminated with or without cause.

What are the key elements to consider when reviewing a dental associate contract?
I am a dentist who has been offered a dental associate position at a private practice, and I am seeking legal advice regarding the key elements I should be aware of when reviewing the dental associate contract. I want to ensure that the terms of the contract are fair and reasonable, and that they protect my rights and interests as an associate. Additionally, I would like to understand any potential implications or restrictions within the contract that may affect my future career opportunities or potential for growth within the dental industry.

There are many complex issues to review in a contract of this type and I've found that the employment agreements given to medical professionals are frequently very one-sided to the benefit of the employer with complex non-compete and non-solicit restrictions. The things that should be outlined include the job responsibilities, compensation (including bonus strux), benefits, and probably most importantly termination provisions that outline compensation for termination without cause and what constitutes cause. Lastly, I alway recommend a dispute resolution process that involves mediation and arbitration rather than the courts.

Dental associate contract malpractice insurance?
I recently signed a dental associate contract with a practice in my local area. I am concerned about the malpractice insurance that is included in the contract, as I am not sure if the coverage is adequate. I am also unsure of the type of insurance that is provided and what it covers. I would like to know what the risks are in regards to my malpractice insurance and how I can ensure that I am properly protected.

I am a WA State attorney. For starters, obtain a copy of your policy, print it, and read it carefully, using a yellow highlighter to highlight your questions/concerns, while making notes on a notepad. Check with independent malpractice insurers in WA to determine typical amounts of coverage in your field and county. Consider buying more on your own and/or an umbrella policy. Check with instructors, mentors, and colleagues in your field to seek guidance on adequate coverage.

How to track dental associate contracts?
I am a dentist who is looking to hire a dental associate to help with my practice. I need to create a contract that outlines the terms and conditions of the associate's employment, but I want to make sure that I am tracking it properly. I want to make sure that I am following all the legal obligations related to the contract and that it is enforced properly.
Merry K.
It's not necessary to write a contract - you can write a hiring letter with the terms and conditions, with a reminder that the employee is an "at will" employee. This may give you more freedom to discipline or terminate the employee than an employment contract would. However, you can also write this up as a contract. In either instance, do not violate any laws, such as the state and federal laws against discrimination (some counties and cities, such as King and Spokane counties, and Tacoma, Seattle, and possibly Spokane may have additional provisions); watch out for RCW 49.44.211, a 2022 law about nondisclosure and nondisparagement provisions; and, if you choose to include regular evaluations in your letter or contract, the most simple thing is to track those on a calender and remind yourself and your employee of the date a few weeks ahead of time. Some hiring letters and employment contracts provide for reimbursing the employer for the costs of training and/or any costs provided to the employee for moving expenses if the employee leaves before "X" amount of time.. Before hiring any new employee, do your best to conduct a national background check (not just state) and make sure it's extensive - prior performance at another job? Was the work history and education what they say it was? Any misdemeanors or felonies? What is their financial history and credit rating? Etc. Good luck on your hiring decisions.

Without seeing the contract and without knowing exactly what you are looking for, it is impossible to answer your question.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
