Business law w4 learning activity template
Background: Contracts are essential for business and will be an integral
part of Viral Clean’s ("Clean") operations, so the owners now want to
focus on contract law. Each owner has experience with contracts in their
usinesses and appreciates the probable risks and liabilities associated
with contracts. They also know that contracts should be comprehensive,
clear, and specific to avoid possible disputes with employees and clients.
The Clean owners know that there are various types of contract
agreements relevant to their business. Clean will have individual
contracts with employees, independent contractors, and other agents
epresenting the company. Also, Clean will engage in sales contracts
with other businesses, consumers, and clients.
The owners want all contracts to be written to reduce disputes and risks
and liabilities associated with contracts, with specific, complete, and
unambiguous terms. Contracts must define the rights and
esponsibilities of the parties. Also, since employees and independent
contractors will be performing cleaning services on clients' properties,
these contracts should require bonding for all employees.
You, Winnie, and Ralph presented draft contracts for Clean's employees,
including different contracts for cleaners, office managers, marketing
specialists, sales representatives, and IT employees.
The Clean owners reviewed the drafts and have some questions about the
contracts.
