Is a Dryject franchisee required to disclose to their employees that they are the sole employer?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to disclose to their employees in writing that they are the sole employer. This disclosure must be in a form approved by Dryject in advance. The purpose of this disclosure is to clarify that the franchisee has total control over the terms and conditions of the employee's employment and that Dryject is not a "joint employer."

This requirement ensures that employees understand the employment relationship and who is responsible for their wages, benefits, and working conditions. It also protects Dryject from potential liabilities related to employment matters, as the franchisee is solely responsible for all employment-related decisions and obligations.

This type of clause is fairly common in franchise agreements to clearly define the roles and responsibilities of the franchisee and franchisor with respect to employees. It is important for prospective Dryject franchisees to understand this obligation and ensure they comply with the requirement to provide written notice to their employees in the approved form.
