For C3 Wellness Spa, who controls the selection of Non-Medical Personnel when directly employed by the Practice?

According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, the selection and terms of employment for Non-Medical Personnel directly employed or contracted by the Practice are determined and controlled by the Practice. This includes decisions related to the rates of compensation, supervision, direction, training, and assignment of duties.

This arrangement applies when the Practice and Manager specifically agree in writing for certain Non-Medical Personnel to be directly employed by or contracted with the Practice. In this scenario, these personnel are considered employees or independent contractors engaged by the Practice.

This differs from the standard arrangement where Non-Medical Personnel are typically employees or independent contractors of the Manager and leased to the Practice. In those cases, the Manager is responsible for selecting, employing, and supervising the Non-Medical Personnel, while the Practice oversees their day-to-day duties. The ability to directly employ Non-Medical Personnel provides the Practice with greater control over staffing decisions and personnel management, but requires a written agreement with the Manager.
