Physical therapy aides help appointments run smoothly, clean treatment areas, provide customer support and manage clerical duties. The specific tasks of an aide also vary by state. In most cases, unlicensed aides do not provide any direct patient care.
Generally, to be legally valid, most contracts must contain two elements: 1  All parties must agree about an offer made by one party and accepted by the other.  Something of value must be exchanged for something else of value. This can include goods, cash, services, or a pledge to exchange these items.
As we said earlier, a contract should always foresee the possibility of nonperformance, intentional or unintentional, and should spell out what is to be done. Some contracts go so far as to include an agreement on a set amount of liquidated damages which are to be paid in case something goes wrong.
