I would utilize a contract form for this type of employee. It wouldn't hurt to use a labor attorney for the wording of this contract, my $.02 for what it's worth. Is Florida a "At will employment" state? At will means either party can terminate the employment and why a contract may be desirable.
    Great point Big I haave to find out about the at will part.

    Yes it is. Of course they call it a "right to work" state but it more like a "right to terminate" state...

    I hate rules, but I love junk.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with a ex-employee competing as long as he/she doesn't steal information or clients while they are employed by you. Non-compete clauses are very hard to enforce, why any owner needs to be careful about all company information. This includes websites including this one.
