Compliance screens of workers will be done using the following criteria: 1) confirm availability, qualifications, ability, and willingness to perform work described in work contract/agreement and confirm intention to work the entire season, 2) confirmation of full disclosure of all terms, conditions, and nature of work/job by local employment agency, 3) local workers confirm availability of reliable daily transportation to and from the job site for the entire season.

If employer discovers a criminal conviction record or status as a registered sex offender that employer reasonably believes, consistent with current law, will impair the safety and living conditions of other workers, the employer may terminate the worker (foreign and/or domestic) with notification to OFLC and DHS in accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(n). Workers who are reasonably able to return to their residence within the same day will not be provided with housing, subsistence and transportation.
Employer will only complete the hiring process with workers who possess original identity and employment eligibility documents sufficient to complete USCIS Form I-9, as required by the Immigration Reform and Control Act. This is to ensure that the employer is only hiring workers legally entitled to work in the United States. All new hires must complete the Form I-9, as required by IRCA, prior to their first day of work. Workers that cannot provide this documentation will not be allowed to work until it is provided.
