Coverall Cleaning Concepts is being sued by workers who bought franchises and claim they were lied to by the company regarding hours of work and monthly pay. A dozen franchisees are suing Coverall, charging it with fraud, breach of contract and failing to pay the minimum wage. They assert that the company took out improperly large commissions and did not have enough customers to supply franchisees.
