We're are in he process of hiring a new cleaning service and I was wondering if any of you have cleaning companies sign any kind of privacy statement regarding what they might see? This is an excavating company not a bank but still, does anyone do this and is there a standard online form available?
Thank, Glenn
I'm trying to think what an excavating company would leave out while the office/shop is closed that a cleaning person would have the slightest bit of interest in. Digger doug had it right, the people that are working for a janitorial service could care less and are not the best people someone would use to gather intel. But, have your attorney draw up an NDA/NCA and have them sign it. JMHO
Here, I'll save you the time, here's mine -
