What is the franchisee's responsibility regarding garnishment or wage withholding with All Team?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for handling garnishments and wage withholdings. Specifically, the franchisee must enter any garnishment information into the software program before processing payroll. Additionally, the franchisee is responsible for making payments to the appropriate authority as mandated by the withholding order. This means that All Team franchisees must ensure they are compliant with all legal requirements related to wage garnishments and withholdings.

This responsibility places a significant administrative burden on the franchisee. They must stay informed about any changes in garnishment laws and regulations and ensure their payroll software is properly updated. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in legal penalties and financial liabilities for the franchisee.

Many franchisors provide comprehensive payroll processing services to alleviate this burden on franchisees. However, in the case of All Team, the franchisee bears the full responsibility for accurate and timely garnishment and withholding management. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the implications of this responsibility and ensure they have the necessary expertise or resources to manage it effectively. It would be prudent to inquire with All Team about available training or support related to payroll and compliance matters.
