Migrant and Seasonal Worker Protection Act Poster

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, each farm labor contractor, agricultural employer and agricultural association which is subject to the MSPA and who employs any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker shall post and keep posted in a conspicuous place at the place of employment a poster that explains the rights and protections for workers required under the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act.

 Under the MSPA, every non-exempt farm labor contractor, agricultural employer, and agricultural association must:

• Disclose the terms and conditions of employment to each migrant worker in writing at the time of recruitment and to each seasonal worker when employment is offered, in writing if requested;
• Post information about worker protections at the worksite (the MSPA Poster);
• Pay each worker the wages owed when due and provide each with an itemized statement of earnings and deductions;
• Ensure that housing, if provided, complies with substantive federal and state safety and health standards;
• Ensure that each vehicle, if transportation is provided, meets applicable federal and state safety standards and insurance requirements and that each driver be properly licensed;
• Comply with the terms of any working arrangement made with the workers; and
• Make and keep payroll records for each employee for three years.

Our laminated Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act Poster communicates these rights to your employees and keeps you in compliance with MSPA requirements. Failure to comply with the posting requirements or implementing regulations may result in fines of up to $1000 per violation, with some violations carrying criminal penalties of up to $10,000, a three year prison term, or both.
