- A.2 Number of Workers Needed
The number of workers needed represents the estimated shortage of domestic workers, and therefore the number of foreign workers the Employer anticipates will be needed. The Employer will hire all able, willing, and qualified domestic workers through the 50% point of the contract period and therefore the number of foreign workers hired could be substantially fewer than listed. The hours listed in block A.6 represent the normal work schedule. Due to the nature of these crops, weather, and the requirement to send the fruit to market when fresh, it is the prevailing practice to work substantially more, less, or different hours than those listed, sometimes for extended periods of time. When the number of hours for a week exceeds the number listed in section A.6, the worker may be offered, but not required, to work more hours. Workers may be required to work some evening or night shifts. Example Night shift: Monday through Friday from 8pm -2:30am and Saturday 8pm - 1:30am
Workers may be offered to work on Sundays or federal holidays depending on field conditions, weather, and crop maturity; however, they will not be required to work more than the hours specified on the work order. At the employer's discretion, it may release workers for a period of time, as determined by the employer. During this time, workers may travel home at the worker's cost. The employer will provide workers with a specific time frame for the break. Any leave by the worker outside of this authorized break period will be considered an absence. This is regular, full-time work for a temporary period of time requiring the worker to be available for work on a daily basis. Excessive tardiness and/or absences will not be tolerated and will result in disciplinary action, in accordance with Kyle Mathison Orchards, Inc. policies in its handbook.
