The American Franchise Act aims to clarify the definition of 'joint employer' in the context of franchising, limiting the conditions under which a franchisor can be considered a joint employer of a franchisee's employees. The bill focuses on defining 'direct and immediate control' over employment terms and conditions, impacting labor relations within franchise models.
