What does All Team recommend regarding pay cards for employees?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All Team highly recommends the use of pay cards where allowed by law. However, franchisees have the option to have payroll checks printed either at their own office, using a printer approved by All Team, or at All Team's office. If the franchisee chooses to have the checks printed at All Team's office, they will be sent overnight to the franchisee, but at the franchisee's expense.

This recommendation suggests that All Team sees benefits in using pay cards, potentially including reduced administrative burden and costs associated with printing and distributing physical checks. However, the FDD makes it clear that the franchisee has the ultimate decision on how to handle payroll, as long as they use a printer approved by All Team if they choose to print checks themselves.

For a prospective All Team franchisee, this means they should investigate the laws regarding pay cards in their specific location to understand if this option is viable. They should also weigh the costs and benefits of pay cards versus printed checks, considering factors like employee preferences, administrative time, and potential fees associated with each method. Understanding these options and their associated costs is crucial for managing payroll effectively and maintaining compliance with all applicable laws.
