Who bears the expense of overnight shipping for payroll checks for All Team franchisees?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee, referred to as "USER," is responsible for the expense of overnight shipping of payroll checks. All Team will prepare the weekly payroll for temporary personnel employees from the franchisee's account, based on wages reported by the franchisee. After deducting the necessary taxes and withholdings, the payroll checks can either be printed in the franchisee's office, using an All Team-approved printer, or printed in All Team's office. If the checks are printed at All Team's office, they can be sent overnight to the franchisee. However, the cost of this overnight shipping is borne by the franchisee.

This means that if an All Team franchisee chooses to have payroll checks printed by All Team rather than printing them in their own office, they will incur the additional expense of overnight shipping. This cost should be factored into the franchisee's operational budget. The FDD also states that postage will be at the expense of the USER.

It is important for prospective franchisees to consider these costs when evaluating the overall financial investment required to operate an All Team franchise. While the use of pay cards is highly recommended where allowed by law, the option to have checks printed and shipped overnight is available, albeit at the franchisee's expense. Understanding these details helps in making informed decisions about payroll processing and cost management.
