What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the terms "you" or "Employee" in the context of starting or continuing employment with the Franchisee, refers to an individual who will be trained by Face Foundrie and will learn confidential information and know-how concerning the methods of operation of a Face Foundrié Facial Bar and the System. As a condition of employment and the compensation paid, the employee acknowledges and agrees to comply with certain obligations.
This means that Face Foundrie franchisees must ensure their employees understand they are employed by the franchisee, not Face Foundrie Franchising L.L.C. Franchisees must maintain acknowledgements in each employee's file confirming this understanding and provide written confirmation to Face Foundrie that these acknowledgements are completed and maintained.
This distinction is important because it clarifies that Face Foundrie franchisees are responsible for managing their employees and adhering to employment laws. Face Foundrie maintains discretion in making decisions that may affect franchisees' interests, but this discretion must be exercised in good faith. Franchisees have no authority to employ or engage persons on behalf of Face Foundrie, and no employees, independent contractors, or agents of the franchisee are considered employees, independent contractors, or agents of Face Foundrie.
