Module

Labor & HR

The workforce side of the operation, built for barns and for the Temporary Foreign Worker programs many producers run. Geofenced timeclock, shift scheduling, payroll-ready exports, and document compliance with required-document tracking and approval workflows — so audits stop being fire drills.

How it works

1
Onboard the worker

Create the profile, set the stream, and the required-document checklist generates itself.
2
Collect documents

The worker uploads permits and IDs from their phone; HR approves or rejects with a reason.
3
Schedule & clock

Assign shifts; staff clock in/out inside the geofence, with missed punches flagged.
4
Export & stay ready

Run payroll exports; expiring permits alert before they lapse, so audits are routine.

How it connects

Timeclock hours and piece-rate earnings flow into Financial as labor cost against the right lot, geofences reuse your Movement & Compliance sites, and every expiring permit, missed punch, or rejected document becomes an alert in the Operations Hub routed to HR or the farm manager.

Labor & HR was built around the reality that a lot of pork producers run TFW programs across multiple sites. Required documents, expiry dates, and approval workflows are first-class — not a folder of scanned PDFs — so the day an auditor calls, the compliance picture is already on screen.

Frequently asked

Does the timeclock work without signal in the barn?

Yes. Punches are captured offline inside the site geofence and sync when the phone is back in range; the geofence check still applies.

Can we customize which documents each worker stream requires?

Yes. Required-document rules are per-organization and per-stream, so SAWP, Ag Stream, and low/high-wage workers each get the correct checklist.

Does it handle the worker approval workflow, not just storage?

Yes. Workers self-upload, HR approves or rejects with a reason, and the worker is notified — the document only counts toward compliance once approved.

Can it export to our payroll provider?

SwineOps produces payroll-ready exports with hours and piece-rate earnings; the exact format is configured per operation.
