Subject to his/her fiduciary duty (and possible other applicable laws), a CEO is authorized to handle employment issues for the company, including setting salaries.

You cannot retroactively change the name of the organizer once the entity is filed with the secretary of state. However, keep in mind that "organizer" does not mean that person is actually an owner of the company. It is simply the person or entity that files the articles.

It depends on what you mean by "access," but either way you should revise the MOU to remove that language and specifically disclaim any type of partnership with the church, including limited partnership, limited liability partnership, etc.

It depends on the terms of your lease.

That is too much of an open-ended question for an online Q&A forum. You should consult with a local business attorney and have them draft a comprehensive operating agreement (if an LLC) or shareholders agreement (if a corporation).

Yes, and that is often the case for liability protection for general partners.

Since you already have the LLC set up you should use the name of the LLC on the locum agreement, and any accompanying documentation.

Yes. While not an overly complicated process, it needs to be done correctly.

It depends on what you mean by "add the LLC." In many instances, having a non-profit own a for-profit entity is a bad idea and can lead to the non-profit losing its tax exempt status. Discuss with an attorney who deals with non-profits.

If there was an enforceable agreement, whether orally, via e-mails or through a more traditional written agreement, it depends on the terms of the agreement. If there was not an agreement there cannot be a breach.

Based on your posting forming a new LLC to operate the joint venture is likely to be the best option, so you might as well use the right business name to avoid having to register a trade name.

What is your question?

Generally, just dropping the company designation (LLC or Inc.) does not require a trade name registration.

It really depends on the exact terms of the agreement and the specific facts of your side business. Have a business attorney review it and advise you accordingly.

No. There is no form to change to a single member LLC. You just transfer the membership interests to you from your spouse. And you do not need to record anything or file anything with the SOS unless you included ownership in the Articles of Organization.

Almost certainly not, unless this is a larger organization.

If you begin conducting business in Michigan and don't do do anything else with the company, you will need to register in Michigan as a foreign entity since it is a Georgia entity (regardless of where you reside).
