Orange Card & Blue Card
US DOL Wage and Hour Division issue registration certificates to farm labor contractors and their supervisors.
Orange Card
“Orange card” registration certificates are issued to Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) companies or sole proprietors. An “orange card” shows that a FLC is authorized to Furnish, Recruit, Employ, Solicit, Hire, Transport and/or House agricultural workers.
Blue Card
“Blue Card” registration certificates are issued to farm labor contractor employees (FLCE) who supervise or drive agricultural workers under a registered FLC (“Orange Card”). If you employ H-2A workers, only a registered FLC employee (“Blue Card”) can be authorized to drive workers.
*Card holders whose certifications are not current (ineligible) are also listed on the DOL website links above. DLL FLC helps our clients acquire the proper cards and authorizations to legally operate in the State of California.
Transportation
In order to transport farm workers, FLCs must be authorized to transport and FLCEs must be authorized to drive. DLL FLC can guide you through all aspects of getting proper registrations, passing vehicle inspections, and applications so that your vehicles and drivers are properly authorized to transport workers. Our team with DLL Insurance Agency can also help you make sure you have the proper automobile insurance coverage for transportation.
Transportation violations are one of the number one reasons why FLCs and their grower clients receive fines and penalties from US DOL. DLL FLC is here to help guide you and your company.
