- Offer description:
Workers will perform assign duties as instructed by their supervisor. Harvesting Watermelon: Workers will perform manual labor to harvest watermelons. This includes walking through field rows, identifying ripeness, and using a small knife to hand-cut the fruit from the vine. Workers will turn watermelons over to prepare for loading. The Pitching/Loading Process: Workers will work in teams to hand-harvest watermelons weighing between 20 and 60 lbs. The process involves bending over, lifting the watermelon from the ground, and "pitching" (tossing) the watermelon to a teammate in a coordinated line. The fruit is passed from worker to worker until it reaches the person inside the bus/trailer, who will carefully stack the fruit on the floor. On-Farm Packing (Primary Production): When the transport vehicle is full, it will be moved to the on-farm packing house. Workers will manually unload watermelons onto a conveyor belt. Inside the packing facility—which processes more than 50% of the employer’s own crop—workers will sort the fruit by size, apply labels, and pack them into bins or containers for shipment. Incidental Duties: Under the supervision of a supervisor, workers may occasionally operate forklifts or move transport trucks strictly within the boundaries of the farm property. General Maintenance & Incidental Tasks: During periods of inclement weather or when harvesting is not at peak, workers may perform general farm maintenance. This includes: Clearing debris, weeds, and vines from fields pulling and disposing of plastic mulch or ground covers; Sprouting, pruning, and painting trees. General cleaning and incidental repair of farm structures and employer-provided worker housing. Maintenance of irrigation lines. Workers must be able to perform strenuous manual labor outdoors in all weather conditions, including heat, cold, and rain, for a minimum of six (6) hours per day. The position requires physical strength and endurance to bend, stoop, and stand for extended periods, as well as manual dexterity to repetitively use hands at a sustained pace to meet production standards. The employer will provide all necessary tools and equipment at no charge to the worker. Consistent with applicable law, the employer may recover the reasonable cost of repair or replacement of tools if damage results from the worker’s willful misconduct or gross negligence after the damage has occurred and after gaining the employee's written authorization to make the deduction. At its sole discretion, the employer may pay a higher wage rate based on individual performance or tenure, which does not alter the entry-level requirements of this position. When production needs require, the employer may offer hours in excess of the daily or weekly schedule stated in the ETA-790. These additional hours are strictly voluntary and not guaranteed; no worker is required to work beyond the contracted hours, on federal holidays, or on their Sabbath, and no worker will be penalized for declining such work. Due to the nature of agriculture, workers should expect occasional periods of little or no work due to weather, crop maturity, or other conditions beyond the employer's control. These periods may occur at any time throughout the season. In the event of a worker-requested leave of absence during periods of available work, all missed hours will be deducted from the actual hours worked but will be credited as "hours offered" toward the fulfillment of the three-quarter guarantee. Workers are responsible for providing their own suitable work clothing.
