Does Deka Lash have the power to hire or fire a franchisee's employees?

According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the sole responsibility for hiring, firing, and supervising their employees. This means that Deka Lash, as the franchisor, does not have the authority to directly hire or fire employees of its franchisees.

This arrangement is typical in franchising, where franchisees operate as independent business owners. While Deka Lash sets standards for service and training, the day-to-day management of employees, including hiring and firing decisions, rests with the franchisee. This allows franchisees to build their own teams and manage their staff according to their local market conditions and business needs.

However, Deka Lash does require franchisees to ensure their employees are properly trained and licensed, and that they provide excellent customer service. Franchisees must also ensure their employees have any training, licenses, or certifications required by applicable law. While Deka Lash doesn't directly control hiring and firing, they maintain standards through training requirements and customer service expectations, which franchisees must implement and enforce.
