Rights under Your Farmworker Contract (H2-A Contracts)
This document explains your rights under an H-2A contract (for farm labor). An H-2A contract promises you a free place to live while you work, workers' compensation benefits if you get hurt on the job, and at least an average of $7.28 for each hour you work over the course of a pay period. You have a right to receive a copy of your contract, insist that your boss respect all the conditions in your contract, and insist that all promises are kept. You also have additional worker safety and environment rights.
