What Three-Fourths Guarantee means to ag employers

The Three-Fourths Guarantee in H-2A requires employers to offer H-2A workers employment for at least 75% of the workdays specified in the employment contract. This means that if the contract period is, for example, 12 weeks with a 5-day workweek, the employer must guarantee at least 45 workdays. If the employer fails to provide enough workdays, they must still pay the workers as if they had worked the guaranteed number of days. This provision ensures that workers have a minimum level of income security during their contract period.
