How Seso Works

From signup to harvest — every step handled.

Seso walks you through H-2A filing, worker onboarding, payroll, and compliance documentation — so nothing falls through the cracks between your first petition and your last pay run of the season.

Step 01

Farm profile setup

Connect your operation's details: crop types, seasonal schedule, state of operation, and anticipated H-2A headcount. Seso uses this to pre-configure your compliance baseline, AEWR schedule, and DOL filing calendar. Takes under 20 minutes.

Step 02

H-2A petition filing

Seso guides you through the complete H-2A filing process: DOL job order submission, ETA-9142A form preparation, housing certification documentation, and transportation plan. Every deadline is tracked and you receive advance reminders before regulatory windows close.

Step 03

Worker onboarding & arrival

When workers arrive, Seso handles I-9 verification, orientation documentation, and housing assignment records. Workers receive bilingual onboarding materials. Arrival logistics — transport confirmation, arrival date tracking — are logged automatically.

Step 04

Payroll run + compliance tracking

Run payroll with AEWR rates auto-applied per state schedule. Mixed hourly and piece-rate pay is handled in one run. Federal withholding is calculated; bilingual pay stubs are generated. Every payroll record is timestamped and archived.

Step 05

Year-end audit package

At season end, Seso generates your complete compliance archive: all H-2A filings, payroll records, I-9 documents, housing inspection records, and transport documentation — organised by DOL audit category. When auditors call, you're ready.
