What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees (referred to as USER) must exclusively use All Team Franchise Corporation (ATFC) for payroll processing of temporary personnel. To facilitate this, the franchisee is responsible for entering information into the software required by ATFC.
Each week, the franchisee must submit timecards or related reports to ATFC by noon on Wednesday, based on the prior week's work. These timecards are then matched with invoices by the franchisee and saved electronically in a location designated by ATFC. Failure to provide invoices and timecards on time can result in penalties: $1,000 for the first violation, $2,500 for the second, and $5,000 for the third and subsequent violations.
The franchisee must also obtain and maintain the computer hardware and software that ATFC requires. ATFC will then prepare weekly payroll runs based on the wage information reported by the franchisee, deducting all necessary taxes and withholdings as directed by the franchisee. The franchisee is also responsible for entering any garnishments into the software program before payroll is processed and for making the required payments to the proper authority as required in the withholding order. The franchisee will execute IRS Form 2848 to grant ATFC the authority to file state and federal payroll taxes on the franchisee's behalf.
