In today’s regulatory environment, Franchisors are increasingly expected to help their franchisees navigate a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment. However, direct involvement in franchisee employment practices can expose franchisors to joint employment liability, creating serious legal and financial risks.

During this session, we will demonstrate how the technology-driven platforms, Polsinelli Online Solutions Services for Everyone (POSSE) and Polsinelli Online Solutions for Homecare (POSH), developed by Polsinelli, support franchisors in empowering their franchisees with up-to-date legal resources, training, and documentation without exerting direct control over their employment practices. Attendees will hear directly from franchise leaders who are leveraging these technology platforms to enhance compliance, reduce risk, and support franchisee success.

Some customizable options of the tools include:

• State and industry specific new hire checklists & employee handbooks

• Offer letters and employee management templates and resources

• Arbitration agreements, FAQs and other supporting documents

• Legally vetted policy, performance, and agreement templates

• Guidance on federal, state and municipal employment law compliance

• Trainings on critical functions like hiring practices and more

Speakers:

Angelo Spinola, Shareholder, Polsinelli PC

Sheila Davis, COO, Always Best Care

Nikki Holles, SVP, People Strategy & Governance, Right At Home
