Three-fourths guarantee tracking

Real-time tracking of hours offered vs. contracted period. Alerts before you approach the 75% threshold — so you stay protected.

FICA/FUTA savings on every payroll run

H-2A workers are exempt from employer FICA and FUTA. FarmTC calculates and displays your savings per pay period — turning a cost center into visible savings.

DOL audit packet in one click

Field tally sheets, wage computation, housing logs, transportation records — every document DOL asks for, generated automatically.

Works without signal

Arizona ranks 50th in farm internet access. FarmTC syncs when you have signal and works perfectly when you don't.

The old way

Three-fourths guarantee shortfalls are the #1 H-2A audit finding
Two-tier AEWR wage calculations that change based on daily tasks
Paper timecards for 500+ workers during peak harvest season
FICA/FUTA savings left on the table because payroll isn't classifying H-2A workers correctly
No connectivity in the field — and apps that don't work without it

Automated three-fourths tracking with alerts before you hit the threshold
Task assignment tracking that documents worker skill levels for AEWR compliance
GPS-verified digital clock-in that works offline — syncs when back in range
Per-payroll FICA/FUTA savings dashboard showing exactly what you're saving
DOL audit packet generated in one click — every record, every hour, every document

Where we serve in Arizona

Yuma Valley

90% of America's winter leafy greens. 40,000-50,000 peak-season workers. The epicenter of H-2A compliance complexity.

Maricopa County

Diversified agriculture — alfalfa, dairies, greenhouses. Year-round operations with better connectivity and higher tech adoption.

Pinal County

Cotton, forage, and growing dairy presence around Casa Grande. Mid-size operations looking for affordable workforce tools.

Cochise & Southern Arizona

Pistachios, pecans, wine grapes. Emerging specialty crop region with growing labor management needs.

One farm family couldn't read their own timecards. So we built something better — with them.

FarmTC started with a conversation between two friends from the same hometown in Tillamook County. One manages a four-generation family farm. The other builds software. The manager had been thinking for a while about how much easier things would be if there were an app that organized timekeeping the way Oregon actually needs to see it — regular and overtime broken out, week by week, with employees clocking in only where they're supposed to.

So that's what got built. But once the real problems came out — illegible paper timecards, lost records, six-hour payroll sessions for six employees, no way to verify who punched in where, and a language barrier that made communication harder than it needed to be — the tool grew into something much bigger than either of them first imagined. The manager even said he realized he'd been thinking too small when he saw what was actually possible.

The result: the simplest farm workforce tool we've ever seen. Offline-first so it works where it needs to. Auto-translating messages so everyone's on the same page. Compliance documentation that's a few clicks instead of a filing nightmare. And AEOTC tax credits that most farms have given up on claiming — tracked automatically.

Common questions

How does FarmTC handle H-2A payroll tax savings?
H-2A workers are exempt from employer FICA (7.65%) and FUTA (0.6%). FarmTC automatically classifies H-2A workers, excludes them from FICA/FUTA calculations, and estimates your savings on every payroll run. For a typical 200-worker operation, estimated savings are approximately $319,000 per year. Confirm with your tax advisor.
What is the three-fourths guarantee and how does FarmTC track it?
Employers must guarantee H-2A workers at least 75% of the contracted workdays. FarmTC tracks hours offered vs. contracted for each worker in real time and alerts you before approaching the threshold — the most common DOL finding in H-2A audits.
Does FarmTC work in areas with poor internet — like most of Arizona?
Arizona ranks 50th in farm internet access. FarmTC is built offline-first — every time punch, break record, and attestation is captured locally and syncs when connectivity returns. No data is ever lost.
Can FarmTC handle Arizona's Prop 206 sick leave requirements?
Yes. FarmTC tracks earned paid sick time accrual (1 hour per 30 hours worked) per Arizona's Prop 206, with the correct caps for both small (<15 employees: 24 hours) and large (15+: 40 hours) employers.
What about the new two-tier AEWR wage system?
The DOL's two-tier AEWR system means different pay rates based on worker skill level and tasks performed. FarmTC tracks task assignments per worker so you always have the documentation needed for AEWR compliance — consult your labor attorney for rate determinations.
How does FarmTC help protect against wage claims?
Under A.R.S. § 23-355, accurate wage records are your strongest protection. FarmTC's digital timekeeping, automatic pay-frequency compliance, and audit-ready records keep your payroll documentation solid — supporting both you and your workers.
Does Arizona require heat illness prevention for farm workers?
Yes. HB 2684 (2026) requires written heat-illness mitigation programs at 80°F+, water within 400 feet, mandatory shade (no substitutes for agriculture), rest breaks scaled to temperature, and pre-shift safety meetings. FarmTC tracks weather conditions and documents your compliance automatically.
