What acknowledgement must the Face Foundrie franchisee receive and maintain in each of its employee's files?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must obtain and keep in each employee's file an acknowledgement that the employee works for the franchisee, not Face Foundrie itself. This acknowledgement serves to clarify the employment relationship and protect Face Foundrie from potential liability related to the franchisee's employees.

The franchisee is also required to confirm in writing to Face Foundrie on a monthly basis, or as otherwise requested by Face Foundrie, that these acknowledgements have been completed and are maintained in the personnel files. This monthly confirmation ensures ongoing compliance and provides Face Foundrie with a regular verification of the franchisee's adherence to this requirement.

This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors typically want to maintain a clear distinction between their employees and those of their franchisees. By ensuring that employees acknowledge they work for the franchisee, Face Foundrie aims to minimize any potential legal or financial risks associated with employment-related claims. Franchisees should ensure they have a system in place to collect and maintain these acknowledgements and provide timely confirmations to Face Foundrie.
