Job description
Prepare the soil for planting (including grafting and nursery) and harvesting farinaceous (plantains, bananas, squash, tuber crops such as tanniers and ginger), vegetables (such as sweet peppers, culantro and beans) and fruits (such as pitahaya or dragon fruit and lemons). Most of the workdays are spent on one's feet and constant movement outdoors. Workers are rarely in one place as they move, often walking 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 eight (8) hours per day. The worker may be requested, but not required, to work 12 hours per day and/or Federal Holidays, as well as Saturdays, depending upon the conditions in the fields, weather, and maturity of the crop. Overtime will be paid, if applicable, under state or federal law. The manager or supervisor will advise workers at the end of the workday if there is any change in start time, and 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, including the termination of the contract. Workers must call their manager or supervisor as far at least one day before the start of the workday if they do not expect to be in on time.
