Notice / Handout Requirement
The Agricultural Employment Terms Form can be used to fulfill mandatory-to-communicate requirements for agricultural employers. Under federal law, each farm labor contractor, agricultural employer, and agricultural association is required to provide workers with specified information on the terms and conditions of employment. This information must be presented in writing:
- to migrant and day-haul workers upon recruitment, and
- to seasonal workers upon request when an offer of employment is made.
Thereafter, any migrant or seasonal worker has the right to a written statement provided by the employer upon request. (29 CFR §§ 500.75-500.76)
