H-2A + Payroll + Compliance

Farm labour compliance, handled.

Seso manages H-2A paperwork, seasonal payroll, and DOL compliance — so your crew shows up on time and your harvest isn't held hostage by a form.

H-2A paperwork buried in email Petition deadlines missed because DOL job orders and supporting docs live in three different inboxes.
Payroll errors at harvest crunch Wrong AEWR rate or mis-classified piece-rate hours means year-end corrections and potential DOL penalties.
DOL audit with no paper trail When auditors call, the documents are scattered across spreadsheets, binders, and email attachments.

From the Field

What growers are saying

We lost two weeks of our berry harvest three seasons ago because our H-2A petition sat in the wrong queue. Since working with Seso, every filing deadline is tracked and we get reminded before it becomes a crisis. The audit archive alone is worth it.

We were running payroll for 60 H-2A workers on a spreadsheet. Getting the AEWR rate wrong for even one pay period meant corrections for weeks. Seso pulls in the current rate automatically and the piece-rate blending is exactly what we needed for our crew structure.

H-2A deadlines don't move for anyone.

DOL filing windows are fixed — the 60-day rule, the 75% guarantee, the housing inspection. Miss one and your crew can't legally work. Seso keeps every deadline in view before it becomes an emergency.
