What would Ag Overtime Tax Credit do?
The Ag Overtime Tax credit will support California farmers and agricultural employees by creating a payroll tax credit to reimburse farmers for overtime premium wages (the “half” in “time-and-a-half”) paid to their employees. It would improve work opportunities and increase take-home pay for employees, delivering millions of dollars to working families and rural communities.
Who supports the Ag Overtime Tax Credit?
California farmers and ranchers support improved wages for their employees and support decisions by California policymakers to forgo General Fund revenues to reimburse agricultural employers for the cost of overtime premium wages that have already been paid directly to California agricultural employees and their families.
