MIGRANT AND SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKER PROTECTION ACT
Migrant workers in California are protected by employment law. The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) provides employment-related protections to migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. The law states that 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;
- 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
