Oregon farms may qualify for AEOTC tax credits that offset or exceed your subscription cost.
Farm TC keeps the timecards, overtime detail, and payroll-ready exports together so the records behind AEOTC are easier to keep, review, and export for your CPA or bookkeeper.
Oregon's 48-hour threshold means tighter margins on every overtime hour. Your dashboard shows weekly hours per worker with the line clearly marked. You see who's approaching OT on Wednesday — not after payroll runs on Friday.
Oregon's 48-hour threshold is now. Get clean time records, GPS on every punch, and payroll-ready exports — plans start at $29/month.

Every worker's weekly hours on one screen. The 48-hour threshold is marked. Workers approaching OT are flagged mid-week so you can adjust schedules or plan for the cost. No spreadsheet required.
Before
You find out about overtime when payroll hits. Two workers went 6 hours over. That's an extra $334 you didn't budget for (at $18.58/hr x 1.5x x 6 hours OT premium).
After
Dashboard shows the 48-hour line. On Wednesday, you see both workers are at 42 hours. You shift Friday's schedule and avoid the surprise.
Before
Your bookkeeper spends 2 hours calculating OT hours from paper timecards every pay period. At $50/hr, that's $100 just for the math.
After
OT is calculated automatically. Export shows regular hours and OT hours already split. Your bookkeeper exports in minutes.
Before
You've never heard of AEOTC credits. Your overtime costs just feel like a tax. Nobody told you the state would pay some of it back.
After
AEOTC tracking runs in real time. You see your estimated credit on the dashboard. For non-dairy farms under 25 FTE, the 2025-2026 rate is 80% of OT premiums back. Confirm with your CPA.
As of January 2025, Oregon requires overtime (1.5x) for agricultural workers after 48 hours per week. In 2027, this drops to 40 hours. Clean time records and weekly visibility are no longer optional.

The Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) refunds a percentage of your overtime premium costs. Oregon has a $55M annual cap — only $5.1M was claimed in 2024. That claims data suggests many farms may still be missing it.
Rough estimate for 25 workers:
~$0/year
Based on 4 OT hours/worker/week, 30 weeks, and a canonical 2026 rules estimate at 0% credit rate. Your actual credit depends on hours worked. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.
Draw work areas on a map or drop pins. Most farms finish this in under 10 minutes.
Add employees in the dashboard. They download the app and enter their org ID + PIN — a couple minutes on their end.
Clocking can start same day. Export clean time data when you're ready. We don't replace your payroll provider — we feed it clean data.

As of January 2025, Oregon requires overtime (1.5x) after 48 hours per week for agricultural workers. In 2027, this drops to 40 hours under HB 4002. Farm TimeCard shows weekly hours on a dashboard with the threshold line so you can catch overtime before it hits payroll.
Oregon's Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) can offset a percentage of your overtime costs. The state has a $55M annual cap, but only $5.1M was claimed in 2024. For non-dairy farms under 25 FTE, the 2025-2026 credit rate is 80%. Dairy farms under 25 FTE get 100%. Farm TimeCard tracks your eligibility and generates the report you need for your application. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.
No. We don't replace your payroll provider. Farm TimeCard captures time and exports payroll-ready summaries (CSV, QuickBooks, print). You still run payroll in your existing system. We just feed it clean data.
Yes. Punches record on the device and sync when connected. GPS is captured even without cell service. This matters because most Oregon farms have dead zones in back fields, upper pastures, or greenhouses.
Yes. Oregon requires 10-minute paid rest breaks every 4 hours and 30-minute meal breaks after 6 hours (OAR 839-020-0050). Employees record breaks in the app. Break attestations are stored and included in audit packages.
A unique employee with at least one time event in the billing month. Seasonal pricing means you only pay for workers who actually clock in. All plans include 5 workers, with per-employee pricing that scales by tier.
No. We provide tools to help organize records and flag potential issues. This isn't legal advice. Requirements vary and change — confirm your obligations with a qualified advisor.
Pay for 10 months upfront and get 12 months of access. Commit to your busiest-month worker count. Best for year-round operations like dairies and nurseries. Private founding-member offers, when available, apply separately from public list pricing.
Most mixed operations use paper or multiple disconnected systems. Run Farm TimeCard alongside your current process for a week. Once you trust the data, consolidate into one system. The crew adapts faster than expected.
Shared devices at the barn and staging area. Supervisor batch entry for crews without phones. We're building BLE relay support for fixed clock-in points.
Yes. External bookkeeper role. One login to pull payroll for all operations. No more stitching together three different record systems.
Data stays accessible for 60 days. Export everything first.
In the public QuickBooks Time materials we reviewed, we did not find Oregon agriculture-specific 48-hour overtime or AEOTC workflows. Farm TimeCard is built around those Oregon farm use cases and can still export clean data into QuickBooks payroll workflows.
In the public Homebase materials we reviewed, we did not find Oregon agriculture-specific overtime, AEOTC, or audit-ready farm workflows. Homebase is a general hourly-team product; Farm TimeCard is built around Oregon farm operations.
Yes. True offline mode. Your remote pastures and back fields don't have signal — the app works anyway. Punches sync when devices reconnect.
No. Tools, not guarantees. This isn't legal advice. Requirements vary and change. Confirm with a qualified advisor.
A 4-worker farm recovering about 5 hours a month of recordkeeping time at $30/hour would recover about $150/month before any AEOTC value. Actual savings depend on your workflow, worker count, tier, and tax-year eligibility.
The Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) lets Oregon farms offset OT costs. $55M/year cap, only $5.1M claimed in 2024. Non-dairy under 25 FTE: 80% credit rate in 2025-2026. Dairy under 25 FTE: 100%. Confirm your eligibility with your CPA — not all operations qualify.
Yes. That's the point. Set up fields for pastures, fields, barns, and facilities. Use activities to categorize tasks. Reports show labor by area and by activity type, so you can compare operations.
Start simple. Set up your main fields and a few key activities. Add detail only where it helps you make decisions. Most mixed farms start with 4-6 locations and 5-8 activities and find that's enough.
Set up today. Start clocking today. Export payroll by Friday.
