This compliance guide is a critical tool for all agricultural and horticultural employers who are increasingly being pursued by government regulators, farmworker advocacy groups, unions and others for non-compliance with federal employment laws and regulations. It explains how ag/hort employers are affected by child labor laws, OSHA rules, immigration law, wage-hour law, the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA), EPA's Worker Protection Standard, and antidiscrimination laws governing sexual harassment, equal pay, retaliation, and other prohibited forms of discrimination.
The guide includes English and Spanish language checklists, plus numerous compliance tips on issues ranging from the interaction between the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to "joint employment" with farm labor contractors. Checklists can be used to help educate supervisors and others on such topics as Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, family and medical leave, how to respond to an EEOC investigation, and basic OSHA compliance. 134 pages.
