What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for making employment decisions. While Extreme Art Studio may certify franchisee employees or independent contractors to perform specific functions, the franchisee retains the power to hire, fire, and control these individuals.
The franchisee is responsible for establishing and implementing their own employment policies, and Extreme Art Studio suggests consulting with local legal counsel to ensure compliance with employment laws. Any direction received from Extreme Art Studio regarding employment policies should be considered as examples, not mandates.
Extreme Art Studio will not provide general business or operations training to the franchisee's employees or independent contractors but will offer limited training on the Extreme Art Studio System and brand standards.
