The poster is required under the following law(s):

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA)

The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) safeguards most migrant and seasonal agricultural workers in their interactions with farm labor contractors, agricultural employers, agricultural associations, and providers of migrant housing. However, some farm labor contractors, agricultural employers, agricultural associations, and providers of migrant housing are exempt from MSPA under limited circumstances.

Every non-exempt farm labor contractor, agricultural employer, and agricultural association has several obligations under MSPA including:

• Disclosing the terms and conditions of employment to each migrant worker inwriting;
• Paying wages owed when due and providing each worker with an itemized statement of earnings and deductions;
• Ensuring housing and vehicles, if provided, meet federal safety and health standards.

The Employment Standards Administration’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) administers and enforces MSPA.

Poster Requirements

Posters. Each farm labor contractor, agricultural employer, and agricultural association, that is subject to the MSPA and that employs any migrant or seasonal agricultural worker, is required to post a poster explaining the rights and protections for workers required under the MSPA, such as the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) poster.

The poster must be posted in a conspicuous place at each place of employment. There are English/Spanish and English/Haitian versions of the poster, both of which can be printed from the Web.

There are no size requirements for these posters. Employers are encouraged to make the poster available in languages other than English.
