Dairyworkdoesn'tendatmidnight.
Open-ended shifts, manager-initiated clock-out, and HB 4002 overtime math for dairies that run through weather, overnight checks, and the second milking.
Built for dairy days that cross midnight.
Dairy work needs open-ended shifts, manager clock-out audit, and Oregon overtime at the 48-hour threshold through December 31, 2026.
Leave a shift open until the work is done.
When a worker forgets to clock out after an overnight check or parlor cleanup, the manager can close the shift with a audit-ready record instead of editing a paper guess later.
Offline records that keep working.
Year-round crews = highest overtime exposure of any Oregon farm type
Workers see the record before payday.
Split shifts and early milking make manual tracking error-prone
The export is ready before the week gets away.
20 employees × 7% wage increase = ~$28,000/year in new overtime costs. AEOTC credits can recover a significant portion.
Eleven farm types, one operating system.
We built the four capabilities above for Oregon's most labor-intensive crop types. The same engine runs everything else.
Tillamook to Linn County.
Parlor shifts. Milking rotations. Salaried-hourly hybrids. Grade A retention compliance.
Linn County grass seed.
Swather, combine, and cleaning crews. A three-week weather window means twelve-hour days. Hourly plus seasonal overtime, every break on record.
Clackamas County Christmas trees.
Shearing crews through summer. Cut and bale in November. Seasonal H-2A and local labor, both on the same record.
Washington County nurseries.
Greenhouse staff on salaried-hourly hybrids. Field crews on piece-rate transplanting. Same payroll run, same export, same record.
What is your office time worth each year?
Enter your current payroll prep time. The estimate is built from the assumptions shown here.
Formula shown: 6 x 26 x $50
Hours per pay period x pay periods per year x office-time value. Actual results depend on your current workflow and payroll setup.
That's 156 office hours per year based on the assumptions shown here.
FarmTC helps keep time and payroll records organized for Oregon BOLI review; it does not replace legal or tax advice.

Every Oregon code. Handled.
Most ag SaaS lists 'compliance' as a feature. Here are the actual Oregon statutes — by code — that FarmTC was built around. If you don't know them by code, you don't understand the operation.
Oregon dairy overtime.
48 hours through December 31, 2026; 40 hours starting January 1, 2027.
Washington dairy overtime.
Washington dairy workers moved to 40-hour overtime in 2020; all ag workers reached 40 hours in 2024.
AEOTC · the overtime tax credit Oregon owes you.
Oregon refunds a share of every overtime dollar you pay agricultural workers. Dairy farms under 25 FTE: 100% — and that rate doesn't phase out. Other Oregon farms: 30%–80% depending on size and tax year. The condition: track hours, breaks, and overtime in the format the state's application expects, week by week. In 2024, only $5.1M of the $55M annual cap was claimed — most farms left their share on the table because the records were too hard to assemble after the fact. FarmTC tracks the right things in the right format from the first clock-in. Application window opens January 1 each year. Not tax advice — confirm eligibility with your CPA.

Rest-break rules at 80°F+, escalating cycles at 90°F+. Logged automatically against the geofenced clock-in.
