All applicants must be able, willing and qualified to perform the work described in the job order and must be available for the entire period of employment specified in Section A.3 & A.4. Stonewood Farm, Inc. is an open-range\ operation with a temporary need for workers during specific peak periods. Additional labor is required for the growing and slaughtering season from October through December. This position is not year-round because the\ employers labor needs are seasonal and temporary. All operations take place on the farm, and 100 percent of the poultry processed is raised by Stonewood Farm, Inc. Workers will perform all aspects of poultry processing,\ including cleaning, slaughtering, and dressing the birds for market. Workers will help operate the slaughter plant, performing tasks that include harvesting and processing turkeys. Workers will catch and transport fowl to the\ processing area; hang live poultry in shackles and perform bleed-out procedures; make required knife cuts; remove, separate, and prepare viscera; debone and grind meat; and apply labels and record weights. Workers will\ clean and sanitize all rooms and equipment in accordance with USDA specifications, including blood pans, rendering barrels, floors, restrooms, and walls. In addition to these responsibilities, workers will perform general farm\ maintenance and assist with any new infrastructure or improvements as needed. Workers must be able to safely operate agricultural equipment and perform duties under a variety of environmental conditions, including\ extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sun, moderate winds, snow, and wet conditions. The assigned duties are physically demanding and require prolonged walking, bending, stooping, kneeling, and lifting. Workers\ must be able to lift and carry up to 80 pounds on a frequent basis. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles to transport workers from housing (whether on or off farm) to the farm properties;\ haul tools, supplies, or crops; transport workers from place to place around the farm properties during the workday (including on public roads to reach farmer\'s fields); and/or transport workers to the grocery store, bank, or\ laundry facilities on an as needed basis. Workers that are requested to drive will be required to possess a valid drivers license; no worker will be rejected for not having a driver\'s license. Workers who do drive will still perform\ the same field work and other duties as non-driving workers; driving is not a primary duty. Workers may be required to work 9-hour shifts within the hours of 7:00am to 7:00pm from Monday to Friday and may offer to work 4\ hour shifts within the hours of 7:00am to 7:00pm on Sundays. This schedule totals 49 hours per week. The 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. range accounts for varying poultry processing needs (e.g., flock readiness and processing\ schedules) to ensure that workers are able to complete the required weekly hours. Workers will not be scheduled to work a full 12-hour shift. Workers may offer additional hours beyond the standard schedule, subject to the\ mutual agreement of the workers and management. Workers will be provided with a 60-minute lunch break, staggered between 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., as determined by both the workers and management. Workers may\ choose where to eat their lunch and must return to work after the 60-minute break. In addition, workers will receive a 15-minute break in the morning and a 15-minute break in the afternoon, as agreed upon by the worker and\ management. The daily and weekly work schedules may vary due to poultry processing needs, including flock readiness, processing schedules, and other operational factors. The employer will notify workers of any changes\ to the schedule. Workers will receive one day of training and two days of work to demonstrate satisfactory performance of the duties described in this job description.
