What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All Team highly recommends the use of pay cards for temporary employees where allowed by law. However, the document also states that payroll checks may be printed either in the franchisee's office, using a printer approved by All Team, or at All Team's office and sent overnight to the franchisee at the franchisee's expense. This recommendation appears in the context of All Team providing payroll services for the franchisee's temporary personnel.
For a prospective All Team franchisee, this means that while pay cards are the preferred method for paying temporary employees, traditional payroll checks are also an option. The franchisee needs to consider the legal implications of using pay cards in their specific location, as the recommendation is contingent on it being legally permissible.
The franchisee will also need to weigh the costs and benefits of each payment method. Pay cards may offer convenience and reduce administrative burden, but payroll checks provide an alternative if pay cards are not viable or desirable. If the franchisee chooses to have All Team print and send payroll checks, they will incur overnight shipping costs. It is important to note that the franchisee is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations related to payroll and employee compensation, regardless of the payment method used.
