Further, ATFC will pay on behalf of USER, from USER'S account, based on Wages processed by ATFC pursuant to this Processing Agreement, all Direct Payroll Costs, which payments shall be made directly to the entities entitled to the receipt thereof, including any penalties due to late filing or error in calculating tax due, except to the extent attributable to any action or inaction of USER. The use of Pay Cards is highly recommended where allowed by law.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All Team offers administrative payroll processing services to franchisees (referred to as USER in the document). If a franchisee elects this service, All Team will process the payroll for the franchisee's administrative employees from the franchisee's account. This processing includes deducting and withholding income, social security, and other taxes, disability payments, and deductions as directed by the franchisee and required by law.
All Team will also handle Direct Payroll Costs on behalf of the franchisee, making payments directly to the entities entitled to receive them, including penalties for late filing or errors in tax calculations, unless these are due to the franchisee's actions or inaction. The document recommends using pay cards where legally allowed, but payroll checks can be printed either at the franchisee's office (using an All Team-approved printer) or at All Team's office and sent overnight to the franchisee at the franchisee's expense. Franchisees will receive electronic notification of administrative payroll costs after processing.
For All Team to provide these services, the franchisee must obtain and maintain the necessary computer hardware and software. The franchisee also agrees to allow All Team to access data, statistical information, and reports. All Team is committed to keeping this data confidential unless legally required to disclose it, in which case they will attempt to notify the franchisee in advance. Franchisees are required to pay All Team a Processing Fee by Friday for the prior week, which is 1.65% of the Temporary Employment Gross Billings from the prior week. All Team can increase this fee with written notice, but not more than once per year.
All Team also prepares payroll tax deposits and quarterly tax reports for all federal and state jurisdictions on behalf of the franchisee and files these with the appropriate taxing authority. The franchisee must execute IRS Form 2848 to grant All Team the authority to file these taxes. Annually, All Team will send the franchisee a statement of wages earned, taxes, and other amounts withheld for each temporary personnel employee and each administrative employee (if the franchisee elects to use All Team's services for administrative employees).
