Re: After Hours personal training for private clients

[Guest guest]

In the same line..what about a staff member who wants to provide massage to

our patients and their own " clients " in my office space in the evenings and

weekends? I think the liability issue is still present. How do other clinics

who also offer massage or personal training after hours?

Any info could be useful as everyone is trying to make that extra buck.

Thanks.

It's clear to me that you have enterprising members on your team, and it should

be applauded and you should encourage them to continue to create new

opportunities. Unfortunately, this arrangement seems to be at your expense. If

the employees have " recruited " these new client's from your current patient

roster, as a business owner I would see it as an opportunity to develop new

marketable programs for the clinic to extend our service lines. I would also

create an incentive structure to ensure that the employee is rewarded for this

new idea and spur others to think the same. In California the risk of allowing

my employee to create a private venture in the same place they work for me would

create potential HR challenges that could haunt me in the future should my

relationship with the employee sower.

Why don't you do the massage yourselves. That's direct access. The same for the

personal training. We're the musculoskeletal specialists. We should be doing

this. Not giving our profession away.
