What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must, on a monthly basis or as otherwise requested by Face Foundrie, acknowledge in writing to Face Foundrie that employee acknowledgements have been completed and maintained in the franchisee's personnel files. These acknowledgements confirm that employees understand they work for the franchisee, not Face Foundrie itself.
This requirement ensures that Face Foundrie franchisees are consistently documenting and verifying that their employees understand the nature of their employment relationship. This helps to protect Face Foundrie from potential legal or liability issues related to employee claims or misunderstandings about their employer.
For a prospective franchisee, this means implementing a system for obtaining and maintaining these employee acknowledgements and setting a reminder to provide written confirmation to Face Foundrie either monthly or according to any other schedule Face Foundrie specifies. Failing to comply with this requirement could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement and potential penalties.
