Sanitation: Effective January 1, 1986, employers who hire 6 or more migrant workers who are engaged in hand labor must provide sanitation facilities to their workers. Field staff are responsible for the inspection of "field sanitation" facilities and assure that those facilities are provided, kept clean and in sanitary condition. Complaints: Field staff are responsible for the investigation of all complaints of apparent violations of the migrant law. Any person may file a complaint and it will be investigated. Unresolved complaints may be referred to the appropriate Federal or State enforcement agency. <a href="https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/jobservice/msfw/migrant-intro.htm">Migrant Labor Laws</a> Reporting System What is the system for reporting violations in this state (Brief description and then link out to external websites. Use the "Edit HTML" option to add website links.) Certification: Migrant Labor field staff are assigned a specific geographic area in which pre-occupancy inspections are performed. Each migrant camp must meet specific standards in order to qualify for certification. Certification is issued only after a determination is made by a field inspector that a migrant camp has met all standards required by state law. Wisconsin's migrant labor laws require all migrant labor camps to be certified by DWD. Migrant labor contractors must apply and be certified, and migrant workers must receive a written recruiting disclosure statement and a migrant labor worker agreement. DWD staff conduct outreach to migrant seasonal farmworkers where they live and work to ensure they are receiving these protections and equitable access to services. Work Agreements: Field staff are responsible for ensuring that migrant workers are provided with a Work Agreement. It is the responsibility of each inspector to explain to the migrant worker all aspects of that agreement and to assure that the employer who provides the agreement complies with all the terms and conditions of employment as outlined in that agreement and as required by law. <a href="https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/press/2021/211217-migrants-day.htm#:~:text=Wisconsin's%20migrant%20labor%20laws%20require,a%20migrant%20labor%20worker%20agreement">Robust Wisconsin Labor </a> <a href="https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/press/2021/211217-migrants-day.htm#:~:text=Wisconsin's%20migrant%20labor%20laws%20require,a%20migrant%20labor%20worker%20agreement">Laws Protect State's </a> <a href="https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/press/2021/211217-migrants-day.htm#:~:text=Wisconsin's%20migrant%20labor%20laws%20require,a%20migrant%20labor%20worker%20agreement">Migrant Seasonal Farmworkers</a> Migrant Labor/Health Rights Groups or Organizations Groups or organizations working on migrant health or labor issues in your state?
