What does the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) require of Buona?

According to Buona's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section C, which covers human resources, includes a section on Wage and Labor Laws. This section contains information regarding the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), including what the FLSA requires and what it does not require. The FDD also mentions that Buona must display an FLSA minimum wage poster and other mandatory labor law posters.

For a prospective Buona franchisee, this means they must comply with the FLSA, which sets standards for minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor. The franchisee is responsible for understanding these requirements and ensuring their business operations adhere to them. Displaying the required posters is a mandatory part of compliance.

However, the 2025 FDD does not specify the exact requirements of the FLSA. A prospective franchisee should consult with legal and human resources professionals to ensure full compliance with all applicable labor laws. It would be prudent to ask Buona's franchisor for additional details on their expectations for franchisees regarding FLSA compliance.
