| Registration of Farm Labor Contractors and Employees of Farm Labor Contractors Engaged in Farm Labor Contracting Activities |
29 CFR 500.41 - Farm labor contractor is responsible for actions of his farm labor contractor employee.
- Section Number: 500.41
- Section Name: Farm labor contractor is responsible for actions of his farm labor contractor employee.
(a) A farm labor contractor is responsible for assuring that every
employee who is performing farm labor contracting activities on behalf
of such contractor has obtained either a Farm Labor Contractor Employee
Certificate of Registration or a Certificate of Registration as an
independent farm labor contractor, as required by the Act and these
regulations, prior to such employee's engagement in any activity
enumerated in section 3(6) of the Act. A farm labor contractor who
utilizes the services of another farm labor contractor who is not his
employee must also comply with the provisions of Sec. 500.71. The farm
labor contractor is responsible for any violations of the Act or these
regulations committed by his employee, whether or not the employee has
registered as required by the Act.
(b) A Farm Labor Contractor Employee Certificate of Registration is
valid only during the period in which the holder is an employee of the
registered farm labor contractor named on the Farm Labor Contractor
Employee Certificate. If prior to the expiration of the Employee
Certificate, the holder, through a change in employment, should become
an employee of a different registered farm labor contractor, a
replacement Employee Certificate which names the new employer may be
obtained by submitting to the
regional office that issued the original employee certificate or to any
regional office of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, a written statement that includes the date of the change
in employment status and the name, the permanent place of residence and
certificate registration number of the new employer. Any such change
should be reported immediately.
