Does Dryject exercise control over a franchisee's employees' hours of work and scheduling?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are considered independent contractors and are responsible for managing their employees. Specifically, Dryject franchisees have autonomy in determining the terms and conditions of employment, including hiring, firing, disciplining, and all other aspects of labor relations and employment practices.

This means that Dryject franchisees have the freedom to set their employees' work hours and schedules without direct control from the franchisor. This independence allows franchisees to tailor their staffing to meet local market demands and manage their labor costs effectively.

However, Dryject does require franchisees to ensure their employees protect Dryject's trade secrets through written agreements. While Dryject doesn't dictate employee hours, they do emphasize the importance of customer service and may intervene if a franchisee mishandles customer complaints, potentially impacting how employees are managed to ensure customer satisfaction. Dryject also has the right to establish and utilize an on-line computer monitoring system, and to use the on-line system to remotely examine Your records pertaining to the operation of the Franchised Business.
