Job Duties:

In our farms, these products are typically cultivated and harvested from early November to mid-August, first to avoid hurricane season and second to accommodate the market opportunities offered during the winter and spring months, as production in the mainland declines. Farm workers: prepare the soil for planting and harvesting vegetables and fruits, (such as tomato, peppers, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumbers, pineapple, and squash), and farinaceous (such as sweet potatoes); assist in weed and insect control; apply fertilizer; harvest fruits, vegetables and farinaceous; wash and pre-pack produce. Most of the workdays are spent on one's feet and constant movement outdoors. Workers are rarely in one place as they move from one field to another for any period. Workers must be able to stand, walk uphill and downhill, sit, sloop, squat, kneel, crouch, bend (from the waist) push, pull, reach, lift and carry items weighing in the range of 5 to 75 pounds. Driving and operating passenger vehicles and farm equipment may be required. Workers are required to work 7 hours per day. The worker may be requested, but not required, to work overtime and/or on the Sabbath or Federal Holidays depending upon the conditions in the fields, weather, and maturity of the crops; in such cases, overtime norms will be applied, if applicable. The manager or supervisor will notify workers at the end of the workday if there is any change in the start and time anticipated hours of work for the following day. Regular attendance by all workers during scheduled hours of the workday and /or work period is expected. Unsatisfactory attendance: including reporting late, excessive requests to leave before the end of the workday, doing work outside the scope of the H2A Visa, not abiding by housing, or transport regulations, etc., may be cause for disciplinary action. Workers must call their manager or supervisor as far as possible before the start of the workday if they do not expect to be in on time.
