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, piece-rate export, 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 out-of-fence punches flagged.
4
Export & stay ready

Export piece-rate earnings; expiring permits alert before they lapse, so audits are routine.

How it connects

Piece-rate earnings are computed from Grow-Finish and Movement production events, geofences reuse your Movement & Compliance sites, and every expiring permit, out-of-geofence 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

What happens if someone clocks in from the wrong place?

The clock-in checks the phone's location against the site geofence. An out-of-fence punch isn't blocked — it's recorded with its distance from the site and flagged for review, so honest mistakes go through but off-site punches are visible.

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 pay data?

SwineOps exports piece-rate earnings as CSV — worker, rule, units, rate, and total — for handoff to your payroll process.

Can we send documents out for signature, not just collect uploads?

Yes. Build reusable templates with merge fields, send them as a package for e-signature, and have them re-sent on a schedule; the signed PDFs are stored against the worker with a completion trail.

Do workers need an email address to use it?

No. The worker self-service portal supports phone-number sign-in, so barn staff without a work email can still upload documents, complete training, and clock in.
