H-2A Employer Debarred for Overtime, Job Term Violations
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) debarred a Louisiana farmer from the H-2A visa program for one year after investigators found violations involving job terms and worker pay.
The H-2A visa program allows agricultural employers facing a shortage of domestic workers to hire foreign workers for temporary or seasonal work. Under the program, employers must meet certain conditions. The DOL determined that Jevon Natali Farms misrepresented the actual terms and conditions of employment in its submitted H-2A job order.
Separately, investigators found wage-and-hour violations: The farm failed to pay the required overtime premium for nonagricultural work exceeding 40 hours in a workweek and didn’t provide pay stubs with required information.
