The 3 Pillars of MSPA Compliance
Wages & Payroll
Accurate record-keeping of hours, piece rates, and deductions. We provide itemized pay statements to every worker, every week.
Transportation
All vehicles used for worker transport are insured and inspected. Drivers hold valid licenses and medical certificates.
Disclosures
We provide written disclosure of employment terms (WH-516) in the worker's native language at the time of recruitment.
Common Compliance Questions
What about Joint Employment Liability?
Under MSPA, growers and FLCs can be "joint employers." This means if your staffing partner isn't compliant, YOU are liable. Partnering with a registered, insured FLC like FNSG is your best defense.
Do you handle crew transportation?
Yes. We have authorized vehicles and drivers listed on our Certificate of Registration. We adhere to strict safety standards for all crew movements.
