Running a building materials dealership or lumberyard means managing a diverse workforce, from front-counter sales reps to heavy-machinery yard operators. A robust employment contract is your tool for keeping operations running safely and efficiently. You need this contract whenever you hire new staff, whether they are managing inventory in the yard, driving delivery flatbeds, or closing commercial contractor sales. A strong agreement clearly defines roles, but more importantly, it addresses the unique realities of the building supply industry. This includes rigorous physical safety protocols, strict rules regarding inventory shrinkage, and clear structures for sales commissions. By establishing these expectations from day one, you protect your inventory, ensure compliance with heavy equipment safety regulations, and build a reliable team. A great contract doesn't just protect your business from liability; it provides your employees with the clarity they need to work confidently and productively.
Federal and state labor laws generally prevent you from deducting the cost of damaged inventory or broken machinery from an employee's regular pay unless there is proven willful misconduct. However, you can use a clear equipment policy within the contract to initiate disciplinary action or termination for negligent handling of dealer property.
Your contract must include a clear clause that dictates how pending orders are handled upon termination. A well-drafted contract specifies that commissions are only paid on orders fully delivered and paid for by the customer prior to the employee's final working day.
Yes, yard managers and operators require extensive clauses regarding safety certifications, equipment maintenance, and physical capability disclosures. Counter staff contracts focus more heavily on point-of-sale security, cash handling, and customer service standards.
Yes, you can include a non-solicitation clause that specifically restricts former employees from contacting your contractor and builder clients for a set period. Make sure the geographic radius and duration are narrow and reasonable to ensure the restriction is enforceable under your local laws.
