REQUIREMENT TO FILE AN AGRICULTURAL CLEARANCE ORDER (FORMS ETA-790 and 790A)

In accordance with 20 CFR 653.500, all employers seeking U.S. workers to perform agricultural services or labor on a temporary, less than year-round basis through the Agricultural Recruitment System for U.S. Workers must submit a completed job clearance order to the State Workforce Agency (SWA) for placement on its intrastate and interstate job clearance systems.

Employers submitting agricultural clearance orders, which are not placed in connection with an H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification (Form ETA-9142A), must complete the Form ETA-790 and attach a completed Form ETA-790B, which is provided through OMB Approval Number 1205-0134, and must not complete Form ETA-790A.


Employers submitting agricultural clearance orders in connection with an H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification (Form ETA-9142A) must complete the Form ETA-790 and attach a completed Form ETA-790A, which is provided through this OMB Approval Number 1205-0466. In the case of a clearance order to be placed in connection with an H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification (Form ETA-9142A) for H-2A workers, the clearance order must be submitted to the National Processing Center (NPC), and the NPC will transmit the job order to the SWA. In accordance with 20 CFR 655.121, prior to filing an H-2A Application for Temporary Employment Certification (Form ETA-9142A), the employer must submit a job order to begin intrastate clearance with the SWA serving the area of intended employment, identifying it as a job order to be placed in connection with a future Form ETA-9142A for H-2A workers. The job order is defined as the document containing the material terms and conditions of employment that is posted by the SWA on its inter- and intra-state job clearance systems based on Forms ETA-790 and 790A. 20 CFR 655.103(b). An employer seeking a temporary agricultural labor certification under the H-2A visa classification must satisfy this regulatory requirement by completing the Forms ETA-790 and 790A.

Forms ETA790 and 790A are designed to (1) facilitate the initial receipt and processing of the job order by the SWA, (2) identify the primary employer(s) of the worker(s) sought for the job opportunity, (3) designate whether the job order will be used in connection with a future Form ETA-9142A for H-2A workers, and (4) disclose all the material terms and conditions of employment that the employer will offer to H-2A workers and U.S. workers, as applicable. For clearance orders placed in connection with H-2A applications, except in emergency situations (20 CFR 655.134) or for job opportunities involving herding or production of livestock on the range (20 CFR 655.205), the employer must submit this job order no more than 75 calendar days and no less than 60 calendar days before the first date of need. The job order submitted to the NPC must satisfy the requirements for agricultural clearance orders in 20 CFR part 653, subpart F and the requirements set forth in 20 CFR part 655, subpart B.

Any references to the term “clearance order” on Forms ETA-790 and 790A and in these instructions shall have the same meaning as the “job order.”

FORM ETA-790A – H-2A AGRICULTURAL CLEARANCE ORDER

Section A

Job Offer Information

  1. Enter the job title that most clearly describes the agricultural labor or services to be performed.

  2. Enter the number of workers that need to be employed full-time to perform the temporary agricultural services or labor.

    1. Enter the total number of workers needed.

This is the total number of workers the employer plans to hire to address its temporary or seasonal labor needs during the period identified in Items A.3 and A.4. When calculating the total number of workers needed, include both:

  • The number of former non-H-2A employees the employer anticipates will return—both those workers who can and who cannot reasonably return to their residence within the same day; and

  • The number of additional workers the employer seeks to recruit through this H-2A clearance order and other H-2A program recruitment (i.e., the number entered in Item A.2b).

    1. Of the total number of workers needed, entered in Item A.2a, enter the number of H-2A workers requested for temporary agricultural labor certification.

This is the total number of additional temporary agricultural workers the employer needs, which the employer seeks to fill with H-2A workers, unless recruitment through this H-2A clearance order and other H-2A program recruitment efforts provide the employer with sufficient qualified, able, willing, and available U.S. worker referrals and/or applicants. Note that the number in Item A.2b will be reduced by one for each U.S. worker who is referred or applies for the job opportunity, who is not rejected for lawful job-related reasons.

Important Note: The employer must provide housing, and daily transportation between the housing and place(s) of employment, to all H-2A workers hired and to those workers in corresponding employment who are not reasonably able to return to their permanent residence within the same day. See Form ETA-790A, Section I, Items 3 and 7.C. This housing and daily transportation obligation also applies to all “migrant farmworkers,” as defined at 20 CFR 651.10. For non-H-2A workers, the employer’s obligation to provide housing and daily transportation extends to any farmworker who may reside within the broadly identified area of intended employment but cannot reasonably return to their permanent residence within the same day. Accordingly, the employer must ensure that its housing and daily transportation vehicles have capacity to satisfy the employer’s obligation with regard to the total number H-2A workers entered in Item A.2b as well as the number of migrant workers included in Item A.2a who cannot reasonably return to their residence within the same day. To clarify, the Department encourages employers to identify whether or not the employer is required to provide housing and daily transportation to each non-H-2A worker listed in its H-2A recruitment report.

  1. Enter the first date for the period of intended employment. Use a month/day/year (mm/dd/yyyy) format.

  2. Enter the last date for the period of intended employment. Use a month/day/year (mm/dd/yyyy) format.

  3. Select “YES” or “NO” to indicate whether the job opportunity generally requires the worker to be on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For example, an employer submitting a job order for a job opportunity involving herding or production of livestock on the range, which requires the worker to be on-call up to 24/7, would mark “YES” and proceed to Item 8. All other employers must mark “NO” and complete Items A.6 and A.7.

  4. Use Items 6a through 6h to identify the anticipated days and hours of work per day and per week. Use a numerical (99.99) format for each Item below. An entry is required for each box listed in this field. Reminder: Employers may use the Form ETA-790A, Addendum C, to disclose additional information about the job opportunity (e.g., variations in anticipated days or hours of work per day and per week for different crops or agricultural activities), depending on the unique specifications of the employer’s job opportunity.

    1. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers per week. The entry in this field must be at least 35.00 hours per week and cannot be less than the sum of the entries in Items 5b through 5h.

    2. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Sunday.

    3. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Monday.

    4. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Tuesday.

    5. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Wednesday.

    6. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Thursday.

    7. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Friday.

    8. Enter the total hours of work that will normally be offered to workers on Saturday.

  5. Use Items 7a and 7b to identify the normal daily work schedule for the job opportunity using the standard time in the area where the work is expected to be performed (e.g., 9 AM to 5 PM, 7 AM to 11 AM and 4 PM to 8 PM). Reminder: Employers may use the Form ETA-790A, Addendum C, to disclose additional information about the job opportunity (e.g., different shifts or variations in normal daily work schedule for different crops or agricultural activities), depending on the unique specifications of the employer’s job opportunity.

    1. Enter the start time of the day that work will normally begin and select a checkbox to indicate whether the expected start time of work is “AM” or “PM.”

    2. Enter the end time of the day that work will normally end and select a checkbox to indicate whether the expected end time of work is “AM” or “PM.”

  6. Use Items 8a through 8g to identify the specific crop activity or agricultural activity and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity. Describe the duties or services to be performed by the workers and the wage(s) that will be offered, advertised, and paid to the workers for performing the agricultural labor or services.

    1. Enter a description of the job duties or services to be performed in each crop activity or agricultural activity, including any minimum productivity standards that are a condition of job retention, regardless of whether workers will be paid on a piece rate or an hourly basis. Describe the work tasks that make up the job, summarizing each step as appropriate, and avoid using technical terms without properly defining or explaining them where usage is necessary. Describe any productivity standards that are a condition of job retention in terms that are static and objective and that specifically quantify the expected output per worker required for job retention in the specific crop or agricultural activity. Reminder: Employers may use the Form ETA-790A, Addendum C, to disclose additional information about the job opportunity (e.g., duties or services related to different crops or agricultural activities), depending on the unique specifications of the employer’s job opportunity. The response must begin in this section of the form and Addendum C may be used ONLY if more space is needed.

    2. Enter the wage that will be offered, advertised, and paid to workers performing the job duties or services in the crop activity or agricultural activity and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity. If the employer offers a range of wage rates for each crop or agricultural activity (and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity), enter the minimum wage offer in Item A.8b (Wage Offer). The employer should enter a rate that is no less than the highest applicable hourly wage rate from the sources listed in 20 CFR 655.120(a) in Item A.8b, including any hourly wage rate guarantee an employer offers in conjunction with piece rate(s). Note: The upper range of any hourly or monthly wage offers will be collected in Item A.8f and the “Piece Rate Units / Estimated Hourly Rate / Special Pay Information” field in Form ETA-790A, Addendum A. If there are additional hourly or monthly wage rates associated with additional crop activities, agricultural activities, distinct tasks, or work locations, these must be listed in Form ETA-790A, Addendum A. For example, an employer with additional AEWR rates due to work in multiple locations must disclose each rate in Addendum A.

    3. Select either “HOUR” or “MONTH” to identify the unit of pay for the wage offer entered in Item 8b. Mark only one box. See 20 CFR 655.120(a).

    4. If applicable, enter the piece rate that will be offered, advertised, and paid to workers performing the job duties or services in the crop activity or agricultural activity and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity. Note: If there are additional piece rates associated with additional crop activities, agricultural activities, distinct tasks, or work locations, these must also be listed in Form ETA-790A, Addendum A.

    5. If applicable, enter the piece rate units (e.g., tree size/spacing, weight/size/number of boxes picked/packed, dimensions of bags or boxes filled). Examples of piece rate units include 5/8 bushel, 90 pound bag or box, 10 box bin.

    6. If applicable, enter any other special pay information (e.g., performance bonuses or incentives associated with performing the job duties or services) or the upper end of a wage range offered for a particular crop activity or agricultural activity and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity. Examples of other special pay information related to a particular crop activity or agricultural activity or distinct work task(s) within that activity are additional pay per acre or based on crop yield. In addition, enter the estimated hourly wage rate equivalent for each piece rate or base rate and bonus that is offered for each activity and unit size, if applicable (i.e., what a worker might expect to earn per hour at this rate). See example below. Include or be prepared to make the method of calculating the estimated hourly wage rate equivalent(s) and supporting materials available to the SWA.

      Important Note: The estimated hourly equivalent is not an offered rate nor a guarantee. The offered rates, which may include one or more piece rates in addition to the hourly rate, must be entered in Item A.8b-d, and, if applicable, the corresponding fields on the Form ETA-790A, Addendum A. In addition, the wage rate guarantee requirement is explained in Section I, Item 11. Although not an offered rate nor a guarantee, the estimated hourly equivalent can be no less than the highest of the applicable Federal or State minimum or the prevailing hourly wage rate.

    7. Select “Yes” or “N/A” to indicate whether overtime pay will be available, whether voluntarily offered by the employer or required by an applicable Federal, State, or local law. If “Yes” is selected, describe: the wage rate(s) to be paid for any such overtime hours; the circumstances under which the wage rate(s) for overtime hours will be paid; whether overtime wage rates will vary between places of employment; and where the overtime pay is required by law, the applicable federal, State, or local law requiring the overtime pay.  

  7. Select “YES” to indicate that a completed Form ETA-790A, Addendum A is attached to this agricultural clearance order providing additional information covering all identified crops or agricultural activities (and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity) and all hourly or monthly rates, piece rates, or special pay rates. If there are no additional job duties or services and/or wage offer(s) to identify, select “N/A.”

Important Note: Use Form ETA-790A, Addendum A, to disclose all additional pay information that is related to a particular crop or agricultural activity and, if applicable, distinct work task(s) performed within that crop activity or agricultural activity. For additional pay information that is not related to a particular crop, including but not limited to overtime (including any overtime pay required by federal, state, or local law) and bonus or work incentive payments that the employer will pay in addition to the basic wage rate (e.g., bonuses based on time on the job or calendar based/holiday bonuses), mark H.1 “YES” and use the Form ETA-790A, Addendum C, to disclose the additional material terms and conditions of employment.

  1. Select one of the available options to specify the frequency with which workers will be paid under this agricultural clearance order. In accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(m), the employer must state in the job offer the frequency with which the worker(s) will be paid, which must be at least twice monthly or according to the prevailing practice in the area of intended employment, whichever is more frequent.
