Franchisees are independent business people and not employed by McDonald’s. Independent franchisees are Equal Opportunity employers committed to diverse and inclusive workforces and will not discriminate against an applicant or employee on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, citizenship status, age, disability, veteran or military status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information, or any other legally-recognized protected basis under federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances. Applicants with disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodation under the terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act and certain state or local laws.

Each franchisee and each franchisee restaurant is unique and the franchisee is alone responsible for all employment matters in their restaurant, including the terms and conditions of employment for their employees, such as hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, staffing and scheduling. The franchisee, not McDonald’s, is responsible for all employment matters at the restaurant. If you are hired for the job, the franchisee will be your employer, not McDonald’s.
