What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Augusta Lawn Care FDD, training for replacement managers or employees is required and provided on the same terms as the initial training provided to the franchisee, although there may be a fee. This training will occur at a time Augusta Lawn Care schedules, based on space availability, and may not be available immediately after the replacement manager or employee is hired.
The franchisee is responsible for all expenses incurred by themselves and their employees in connection with attending all training programs. These expenses include the cost of transportation, lodging, meals, and wages.
This means that while Augusta Lawn Care does provide training for employees, the franchisee will need to factor in the potential costs of this training, including fees, travel, accommodation, and wages, when budgeting for employee onboarding and development. The franchisee should also be aware that there might be a delay in scheduling training for new employees, which could impact their ability to immediately contribute to the business.
