When I read the blog on professionalism it got me thinking. One solution as an owner is to see a lawyer and have a contract written up. First, make sure you put in a non-competing clause. Second, you can lay out the expectations on behavior of your employee in it. Third thing is to list things that will be cause for dismissal. It never hurts to protect yourself as an owner. Plus, by signing the contract, an employee has a very clear sense of who you are and the expectaions they are agreeing to. If they choose to take a different path there are penalties and they can't run off with you clientele.
