Hi folks,

Do any of you have a template employment agreement you could share with me that you use when hiring free interns? What paperwork do you have them sign beyond a confidentiality agreement?

I appreciate all advice!

You can just have a simple agreement that outlines the eligibility, duration, objectives of internship, responsibilities of intern, mentorship, work schedule, training & development, confidentiality, completion. However, you want to ensure you are following the laws around unpaid interns as stated here.. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/71-flsa-internships

Also, I have never used an employment agreement for an intern. My impression is employment agreements are generally only used for senior leaders at a business. You could use some form of an NDA is you are concerned about them taking confidential and proprietary information. Non-competes are generally not enforceable any longer.
