What must a Beverly Anns Cookie franchisee inform each of their employees regarding who the employer is?

According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the responsibility to inform their employees that they, the franchisee, are the sole employer, and that Beverly Anns Cookie is not the employer. This means the franchisee is fully responsible for all employment-related decisions and liabilities.

This requirement ensures a clear understanding of the employment relationship. The franchisee is responsible for all aspects of employment, including hiring, firing, wages, and compliance with labor laws. Beverly Anns Cookie will not be held responsible for the franchisee's employees.

This arrangement is typical in franchising, where franchisees are independent business owners. It protects Beverly Anns Cookie from potential liabilities related to the franchisee's employees and ensures that franchisees manage their own staff and operations. Franchisees should consult with local legal counsel to ensure they comply with all applicable employment laws and regulations.
