H-2A Program Management Services
Turnkey H-2A Solutions for Growers
Securing qualified seasonal labor is a common challenge in agricultural production. Between shifting availability, complex regulatory requirements and the coordination involved in bringing the right workforce in at the right time, it can be difficult to give your core operation the attention it deserves. When labor planning begins to demand more time than you have, it helps to have a team that specializes in managing it.
Overlook Harvesting Company offers H-2A program management services for nursery operations, greenhouse facilities and other agricultural businesses. We provide legal, dependable seasonal workforces, helping you maintain operational continuity. Explore our seasonal agricultural labor solutions below.
H2-A Visa Compliance Services
Filing an H-2A petition is a time-intensive task. Petitions must be submitted at least 75 days before your anticipated start date, with thorough preparation needed in the weeks leading up to that filing deadline.
We take the lead on the H2-A petition filing process, including guidance on workforce sizing, finalizing petition language, obtaining a labor bond and submitting all required documentation to the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). We file your petition accurately and on time, giving your operation the strongest possible foundation for your workforce to be in place when your season begins.
Worker Recruitment
We source and recruit qualified seasonal agricultural workers on your behalf. Many of our workers return season after season, which means your crew arrives with real agricultural experience and a familiarity with the demands of seasonal work. This consistency can reduce ramp-up time, helping protect production quality. Employees complete a thorough safety training and orientation before starting work.
H-2A Worker Housing
H-2A regulations require that employers provide workers with housing that meets specific federal and state standards. We provide and manage compliant housing accommodations for your seasonal workforce. Our team coordinates the sourcing, securing and ongoing maintenance of suitable housing from the start of the season through its close.
Dependable Field Crew Leaders
Our experienced field crew leaders are on-site to oversee daily operations, coordinate worker deployment across your production areas and handle ground-level logistics. Whether you’re managing a single location or multiple facilities, our crew leaders help keep your seasonal workforce productive and your operation moving forward as planned.
Payroll Services
We manage payroll for all seasonal H-2A staff, including wage calculations, tracking field hours, recordkeeping and H-2A wage compliance. Your workers receive timely payment weekly, and your operation maintains clear, well-organized documentation from opening day through the season’s end.
Workers' Compensation and Liability Insurance
Overlook Harvesting Company carries workers’ compensation coverage for your seasonal workforce and liability insurance on all transportation vehicles. This coverage supports worker well-being, provides your operation with an important layer of financial protection and helps your labor program meet required insurance standards.
Transportation
We offer bus transportation from worker housing to your farm or facility. This consistent service helps establish a steady routine for your team and supports regular attendance across your operation.
Overlook Harvesting Company takes great pride in our meticulously maintained bus fleet. Our buses undergo annual DOT inspections by an independent third-party mechanic and are professionally serviced to ensure safe operations, maximize worker safety, and minimize breakdowns
