What written notification must an All Dogs Unleashed franchisee provide to each prospective employee?

The 2025 All Dogs Unleashed FDD does not specify any written notification requirements that a franchisee must provide to prospective employees. However, the franchisee is obligated to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information, using it only in connection with the operation of the franchised business. The franchisee can only share Confidential Information with employees on a need-to-know basis. This obligation to maintain confidentiality extends beyond the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement.

While the FDD does not explicitly state a requirement to provide written notification to prospective employees regarding confidentiality, it emphasizes the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that employees are aware of and adhere to these confidentiality obligations. This suggests that franchisees should have a system in place to inform employees about the confidential nature of the information they may access during their employment.

To ensure full compliance and to protect All Dogs Unleashed's confidential information, a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from the franchisor regarding recommended or required procedures for informing employees about confidentiality. This might include specific clauses to be included in employment agreements or separate confidentiality agreements that employees are required to sign. Understanding these obligations is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the All Dogs Unleashed system and avoiding potential breaches of confidentiality.
