JOB DUTIES: Handling manual tasks associated with commodity production and harvest activities.
Workers will perform assign duties as instructed by their supervisor. Harvesting Operations: Under the direct supervision of the field foreman, workers will perform routine manual harvesting of pickles, peppers, pumpkins, squash, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and broccoli. All workers must report to their supervisor daily to receive specific instructions on which rows to harvest and the precise size, color, and maturity standards required for that day’s pick. For vine and Cole crops, workers will use basic hand tools or manual picking techniques as demonstrated by the supervisor to ensure produce is removed without damaging the plant. Workers are required to notify the supervisor of any field issues, such as pests or equipment needs, and must follow all sorting instructions provided at the start of each shift to ensure only marketable produce is collected. Planting and Field Maintenance: Workers will perform basic planting and maintenance tasks as assigned and monitored by the supervisor to ensure crop health and field efficiency. When hand-setting transplants or assisting with mechanical planting, workers must strictly follow the spacing and depth intervals established by the supervisor. All general labor—including pulling weeds, hoeing, and moving irrigation pipes—will be performed under constant supervision to ensure tasks are completed according to farm safety standards. Workers must report to the supervisor upon completion of an assigned area before moving to the next location and are responsible for returning all hand tools and containers to the designated shed area at the end of each work day. The worker must be able to work outside for at least 6 hours a day in all kinds of weather and be in possession of the requisite physical strength and endurance to work quickly and skillfully with their hands repeatedly at a sustained pace to meet the production standards demonstrated by the supervisor. The employer will provide all necessary tools and equipment at no charge to the worker. However, the employer may deduct the reasonable cost of damages or replacement of such tools if the loss or repair results from the worker's willful neglect or gross negligence; such deductions will only occur after the damage has taken place and after obtaining the employee's written authorization. At its sole discretion, the employer may pay a higher wage rate than the stated AEWR to any worker based on individual performance, specialized experience, or tenure with the operation. This voluntary higher pay is intended to reward performance and does not alter the fundamental entry-level nature of the job requirements. Employees may volunteer to work additional hours when work is available. While available hours may occasionally exceed the hours offered, such additional hours are not guaranteed. Workers are not required to work beyond the daily or weekly hours stated in the contract, nor on a worker’s Sabbath or federal holidays. Workers should expect occasional periods of little or no work due to weather, crop maturity, or other conditions beyond the employer’s control. These periods may occur at any time throughout the season. If a worker requests a leave of absence during the contract period while work is available, the hours missed during that leave will be deducted from hours worked but still counted toward the total hours offered under the ETA-790 for purposes of meeting the three-quarter guarantee. A copy of the work contract, or ETA Form 790 in lieu of a separate contract, including any approved modifications, will be provided in the language the worker understands. For H-2A workers, the contract will be provided no later than the time of visa application. For workers in corresponding employment, the contract will be provided no later than the first day of work. For H-2A workers transferring to a subsequent H-2A employer, the contract will be provided no later than the time the subsequent offer of employment is made.
