What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit has the right to mandate that franchisees provide training programs to their employees. This means that as a Fly To Fit franchisee, you may be required to implement and conduct training programs for your staff as directed by Fly To Fit.
If Fly To Fit requires the Principal Executive or any other employees to attend a training program, the franchisee is responsible for covering all associated travel, living, and other expenses. This obligation extends to instances where Fly To Fit mandates that the franchisee provide training programs to their own employees, meaning the franchisee bears the financial burden of these training initiatives.
While Fly To Fit may offer programs to assist franchisees in training new employees, the ultimate responsibility for all employment-related matters, including training, lies with the franchisee. This includes the terms and conditions of employment, recruiting, hiring, scheduling, supervising, compensation, and termination. Therefore, franchisees should be prepared to budget for and manage employee training programs as part of their operational costs.
