University of Maine Cooperative Extension will host an online discussion on Federal Agricultural-Related Employment Laws on February 21 at 3:00 pm.<\/p>\n

This program is free, however, registration is required to receive the Zoom link information.  Register here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The presentation will be led by Brian Cleasby, Community Outreach and Resource Planning Specialist from the U.S. Department of Labor\/Wage and Hour Division\u2019s (WHD) Northern New England District Office.<\/p>\n

WHD is responsible for administering a number of statutes that extend various protections to different types of agricultural workers. Navigating the interplay between the laws can be complex.<\/p>\n

The session will focus on H-2A program requirements, including recent Final Rule changes (Final Rule: Temporary Agricultural Employment of H-2A Nonimmigrants<\/a>, U.S. Department of Labor website) that went into effect November 14, 2022, as well as the Fair Labor Standards Act\u2019s (FLSA) wage and child labor protections.<\/p>\n

Violations under these employment laws can be costly.  The session will cover key program considerations to avoid common wage, disclosure, housing, transportation, and recordkeeping-related violations at worksites where H-2A workers are employed.<\/p>\n

FLSA compliance considerations relating to the Act\u2019s minimum wage, overtime, and youth employment provisions in agricultural-related settings will also be discussed.<\/p>\n

A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation and links to WHD agricultural employment-related resources will be shared during the session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
