What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must comply with all applicable federal, state, municipal, and local laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, and codes related to the Franchise Agreement, the agency, and all aspects of the agency's operation. This includes obtaining all necessary licenses and permits required by these laws, rules, regulations, ordinances and codes. Franchisees are also responsible for making timely filings of all tax returns and paying all taxes levied or assessed on the Franchise Agreement and the agency.
All Team franchisees must also comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Franchisees are required to follow the standards and procedures of All Team and the systems for recruiting, screening, interviewing, and placing personnel for placement customers, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or age. Franchisees must also develop and adhere to safety programs to reduce the risk of injury.
Furthermore, the Franchise Agreement states that if any valid law or regulation limits All Team's rights or requires longer notice periods, the agreement will be amended to conform to those minimum requirements. If any provision of the agreement conflicts with applicable law, All Team will comply with the applicable law. However, All Team is not required to inform the franchisee of any federal, state, municipal, or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance code, or tax. The franchisee is solely responsible for complying with the ADA.
