Every Oregon code. Handled.
Most ag SaaS lists 'compliance' as a feature. Here are the actual Oregon statutes — by code — that FarmTC was built around. If you don't know them by code, you don't understand the operation.
Oregon ag overtime, phased.
48-hour threshold today, dropping to 40 by 2027. Auto-calculated, with seasonal exemption windows applied per crop and county.
AEOTC · the overtime tax credit Oregon owes you.
Oregon refunds a share of every overtime dollar you pay agricultural workers. Dairy farms under 25 FTE: 100% — and that rate doesn't phase out. Other Oregon farms: 30%–80% depending on size and tax year. The condition: track hours, breaks, and overtime in the format the state's application expects, week by week. In 2024, only $5.1M of the $55M annual cap was claimed — most farms left their share on the table because the records were too hard to assemble after the fact. FarmTC tracks the right things in the right format from the first clock-in. Application window opens January 1 each year. Not tax advice — confirm eligibility with your CPA.
