There are various federal and state laws that impact agricultural employers. Of particular note are the Agricultural Workers Protection Act (AWPA), Migrant Seasonal Workers Protection Act (MSPA), and H-2A guest worker program. This course reviews these laws in detail, including record-keeping obligations and compliance standards, as well as the consequences of being out of compliance, risk control measures, and insurance implications.

Upon completion, students will be able to:
