What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees, referred to as USER, must submit timecards or related reporting to ATFC (All Team Franchise Corporation) weekly, no later than noon on Wednesday. This deadline is based on the prior week's activities. These timecards are then matched with invoices, saved electronically, and included with the invoice sent to the customer, if applicable. This process is part of the processing services that ATFC provides, including billing clients and payroll for the franchisee's temporary personnel employees. The franchisee is responsible for entering the information into the required software.
Failure to meet this Wednesday deadline can result in significant financial penalties. The FDD states that a first violation incurs a fine of $1,000. A second violation increases the fine to $2,500, and any subsequent violations will each result in a $5,000 fine. These penalties underscore the importance of timely and accurate submission of timecards to ensure smooth payroll processing and billing.
This requirement is in place to ensure that ATFC can accurately prepare weekly payroll runs for temporary personnel employees, deducting all necessary taxes and withholdings. The use of pay cards is highly recommended where allowed by law, but payroll checks can be printed either in the franchisee's office or at ATFC's office, with the franchisee bearing the expense of overnight shipping if the latter option is chosen. The franchisee is also responsible for postage costs related to these services.
For a prospective All Team franchisee, this means establishing a reliable system for collecting and submitting timecards by the Wednesday noon deadline is crucial. The franchisee should consider implementing digital timekeeping solutions and setting internal reminders to avoid costly penalties. Understanding and adhering to this requirement is essential for maintaining a positive relationship with ATFC and ensuring efficient business operations.
