Recommendation 56
56
Gaps in franchise agreement oversight cause employment abuses and unfair contractual practices.
Conclusion
Gaps in the oversight of franchise agreements allow serious employment abuses to go unaddressed and leave franchisees exposed to unfair contractual practices. The absence of a dedicated regulatory framework, or clear accountability for employment standards within franchise networks is no longer sustainable. (Conclusion, Paragraph 194)
