Do you need to have a Farm Labor certificate, even if your employees are Alaska residents? Yes, a farm labor certificate is required if the employees are not able to return to their homes at the end of each work-day. Residency in a particular state or country does not matter; workers are considered migrant/seasonal if they have to live in housing other than their normal residences.

Clarification of site: The beaches tend to be rocky and makes camping difficult. All units on this solicitation are less than one (1) mile from the beach. The available roads inside each unit are good for walking, however they are not feasible for motorized access due to water crossing not being available. Unit boundaries are listed by natural landmarks, there are no markings or flagging. The COR can provide flagging if necessary. All units tend to have conditions typical to SE Alaska (topography, island access, wildlife, etc.)
