market
demands, and numerous other factors, it is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy how many hours per day or per week a
worker will work or what percentage of time will be dedicated to specific tasks. Workers may be requested to work on their Sabbath or
Federal holidays, but are not required to do so. Due to the unpredictable nature of agricultural work, workers may be offered more or
less hours than the estimated hours per day and more or less hours than the estimated hours per week.
