Croft Connect and Croft Connect Plus

Croft Connect Plus brings onboarding, worker records, timekeeping, and payroll preparation together for your H-2A season.

For H-2A employers

Spend less time chasing paperwork, from onboarding to payroll

Your office needs to know who is ready, what is missing, and what needs to happen next.

Croft Connect Plus brings that work together around your job orders, with your workers, agent, and recruiter collaborating in the same platform.

Croft Connect is the free starting point for basic onboarding and shared records. Compare both plans.

Onboarding · Croft Connect Plus

Workers onboard before they arrive

Send workers a WhatsApp link to guided steps in English or Spanish. Your office sees which steps are complete and who still needs a reminder.

Before Croft

Your office collects forms one worker at a time, checks a paper list, and follows up by phone.

With Croft Connect Plus

Workers complete their steps on their phones. Croft prefills supported forms, collects signatures, and sends onboarding reminders, while your team reviews what needs attention.

  • Collect I-9s, federal and state tax forms, policies, and reimbursement documents.
  • Add your own documents through Croft Power Forms, plus custom questions and video steps.
  • Create worker records in bulk from supported identity documents and keep signed documents with the worker and job order.

Check Passport and Job Order Contract Acknowledgment completion from the checklist, then follow up with workers whose steps are still open.

The season · Croft Connect Plus

Know what needs attention throughout the season

A Needs Attention list brings open work across your job orders into view. Keep the supporting records as arrivals, housing, and worker assignments change.

Before Croft

Housing updates live in a spreadsheet, inspection proof in a folder, and worker changes in a text thread.

With Croft Connect Plus

Your office keeps housing assignments, inspections, travel, discipline, and termination records together, with dated activity and attached documents.

The Needs Attention list counts open items across job orders, so your office can see what to work on next.

Keep trainings, certifications, document-expiration tracking, and 60-day out-of-country proof with the worker record. Bulk actions help your office work through changes across a crew.

Timekeeping and payroll · Croft Connect Plus

H-2A payroll starts with the daily time record

Keep hours offered, hours worked, and the reasons they differ with the job order, before payroll closes. Your payroll provider still handles the paycheck.

H-2A employers record the hours offered each day and why a worker worked fewer hours than offered. A clock-in and clock-out alone do not tell that story. Your job order is already in Croft, so the schedule, worksite, and daily time record can stay together.

Before Croft

At the end of the pay period, your office combines timecards, job-order schedules, and supervisor messages to explain shorter days.

With Croft Connect Plus

The reason stays with the day. Your team reviews flagged shifts and corrections before preparing the pay run.

Illustrative example

Eight hours offered. Six hours worked. Keep the reason with the day.

Hours offered
8hours
Hours worked
6hours

Job order A · North Block worksite

The same six-hour total can have different explanations. The reason gives your office a record to review before payroll.

What payroll needs beyond a punch total

  1. Guarantee progress during the seasonCroft shows 3/4 guarantee progress so your office can review gaps while the season is underway.
  2. The job-order terms for each dayKeep time tied to the worksite and job order. Review wage-rate warnings before you lock the pay run.
  3. A record of correctionsMissing clock-outs and long shifts need review. Croft keeps correction history so your team can explain what changed.

Keep your payroll provider

Croft prepares gross-pay information, H-2A companion addenda, and audit exports from the reviewed records. Your payroll provider handles taxes, withholdings, net pay, payments, and payroll paystubs. Keep Croft’s companion addenda with those paystubs.

Export files are available in layouts for ADP, Paychex, Paylocity, and QuickBooks.

H-2A rules require records, not a particular app. Croft helps your team capture the daily time facts as the season runs.

Reference: 20 CFR 655.122(i), (j), and (k). For how a rule applies to your job order or workers, confirm with your H-2A agent or counsel.

AI access · Croft Connect Plus

Get answers from your Croft records

Croft MCP to Claude + ChatGPT gives you read-only access to the records your account can access, from the office or the truck.

Before Croft

Answering a question about the crew means opening several screens or exporting a report.

With Croft Connect Plus

Ask your assistant about onboarding, job orders, or timekeeping using your live Croft records.

“Which onboarding steps are still open?”

“Which shifts need review?”

The connector is read-only. Your team reviews and changes records inside Croft. Croft AI document processing is separate: Croft reads supported identity documents and prefills forms for your team to review.
