Right... what now? 

I've been having chats with another person about coming on board as an "assistant" in my business. For the remainder of this year - due to time contraints on her part - she is happy to help out with some tasks, mostly related to admin and maintenance of realmums, for no remuneration. Well, a free Club membership and not paying for events - which I think is a fair call.

Next year, there are plenty of options open to us.

I have had a quick chat with a solicitor about it, as I want to do it properly from day one - so am whipping up a Non-discolsure and a Confidentiality agreement. She will have access, obviously to some admin areas on the site and to running procedures and instructions.

Is there anything else I need to do, do you think? A non-compete agreement, or can I stick that clause in one of the other documents? What do I absolutely need to make sure I have in these documents??

THe solicitor will be going over them before The Signing takes place - but just wanna make sure I have it all first time, so I'm not mucking around with it all.

Thanks!

Re: Right... what now? 

Hi Amanda,

I think you would have it all covered if you included a Non-disclosure, Privacy & Confidentiality and Non-compete clause in the one agreement.    Include details about the privacy of members as well as Real Mums itself. 

Hope that helps.

Re: Right... what now? 

In the end, you need to be able to trust this person. That partly comes down to gut feel and the building of the ongoing relationship. If something needs to be addressed in the future, do it promptly, professionally and with a reminder of your agreement. Also, trust extended normally engenders responsibility. A legal document will be ignored or circumvented by someone intent on mischief. However the majority of employees/contractors/business associates will act in good faith for as long as they see that you do.
