Can Fly To Fit Franchise set minimum qualifications for employees of the Franchisee?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Fly To Fit has the ability to set minimum qualifications for the franchisee's employees. However, the franchisee is still responsible for the terms and conditions of their employees' employment. This includes recruiting, hiring, training, scheduling, supervising, compensation, and termination.

Fly To Fit and the franchisee are not considered joint employers, and the franchisee is responsible for the actions of their personnel. The franchisee must have their employees sign an acknowledgement form stating that the franchisee is the employee's sole employer. The franchisee must also use its legal name on all documents with its employees and independent contractors and cannot use the Fly To Fit marks on any of these documents.

This means that while Fly To Fit can set minimum qualifications, the franchisee maintains control over the employment terms and is liable for their employees' actions. This arrangement is common in franchising, where the franchisor sets brand standards while the franchisee manages day-to-day operations and employment matters.
