I'll try to make this short, my boss is leaving the country to visit his family. He says he's coming back in 3 months and wants me to run his small business while he's gone. I don't mind doing it for a few months but don't like taking on this job. (seeing to it that the rent & bills are paid especially since the business hasn't been doing well lately and he's even talked about closing it).
Today I found out he's moving out of his apt & selling his car. I decided to write out an agreement, I will do what I can for the next 3 months to keep the business going, but beyond that I can't promise anything..
What else do you think I should include? I don't want to take the blame if or when his business fails.

Hmm....something smells fishy here.
You have 2 options:
Option 1: If i were you i would not quit the job that i so desperately need but also NOT take the responsibility of the business on my shoulders. I would take a long leave and join back if and when the owner returns.
Option 2: If sticking to this job is not so important then i would just quit and find another job.

Uh, how do you know he's coming back? Failing business, leaving the country, selling his car? He may be looking to stick you with the creditors. I would be very cautious about this. Do you know anyone who knows him and can vouch for his character, or at least contact him in an emergency? Who has signing authority for the checking account? I think you should contact an attorney before you take on this responsibility. The whole thing doesn't seem right.

if he lives in an apartment and is selling his car for money ..it sound like he realy has nothing ...most good compny owners have the big fancy house and lake cabin and a few cars... well anyway it sounds like he is sticking all the problems on you ..write out an agreement if your going to stay other wise go look for a job ..it sounds like a basket case ..i dont think i would do it

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BOSS IS HITTING THE BRICKS RUNNING,,,,,be careful you are not stuck holding the bag full of his problems....I vote you tell him to take it with him (his bag, that is)...when it comes to a business you are messing with uncle sam...to say nothing of all his creditors, and what he might accuse you of.....sounds bad to me
