Job Order Tracker is a tool for assisting job seeking customers looking for jobs in agriculture. This tool does not replace the importance of job matching services via OSOS. The Job Order Tracker gives the Job Order number which can be entered in OSOS to obtain additional information about that job.
The New York Farm Jobs Bulletin contains non-H-2A jobs in agriculture. The job descriptions are provided in English and in Spanish. The bulletin can be found on our Services for Agricultural Workers page. The link to that page is something that could be shared with farmworkers who are visiting a career center.

In accordance with 20 CFR 658.410, the New York State Department of Labor, Division of Employment and Workforce Solutions (DEWS) is required to establish and maintain a uniform system for accepting, investigating, resolving, and referring complaints and apparent violations through the Employment Services (ES) program. This manual was developed for NYS Workforce Boards, Career Centers and Division of Immigrant Policies and Affairs (DIPA); it outlines federal guidelines for handling ES related and Employment-related law complaints. There are two types of complaints handled by the ES Complaint System; ES related, and Employment-related law. This manual provides the guiding policy specific to the ES Complaint System. Complaints against Unemployment Insurance (UI), Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title 1 programs or complaints by veterans are handled in accordance with their respective regulations.
What is a Complaint?
A complaint is a representation made or referred to a State or ES office of an alleged violation of the ES regulations and/or other Federal laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) or Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), as well as other Federal, State, or local agencies enforcing employment-related law.
Who may file a complaint?
Any individual, employer, organization, association or other entity may file a complaint.
