HR for seasonal and permanent teams in agriculture

At harvest the workforce grows within weeks and shrinks when the season ends, while livestock care never stops. Teamso adds workers in bulk via Excel, records check-ins in the field by location, completes timesheets with bulk actions and calculates payroll from that data.

Hidden HR risks in agriculture and livestock

Large numbers of hires and exits in a short harvest window
Field roll calls reaching timesheets late and incomplete
Re-entering details for workers who return every season
No way to verify check-ins across large plots of land
Worker shuttles and daily work notices handled by phone
Building fair shift patterns for round-the-clock animal care

Where Teamso makes a difference in agriculture

Location attendance in the field

Define a geofence and scan radius for a field, greenhouse or farm. Workers scan a QR code with their phones or, where you allow it, check in by location only; for workers without a smartphone you enter the record manually, and it feeds timesheets the same way.

  • Adjustable scan radius
  • Location-only check-in without QR
  • Separate locations for fields, greenhouses and barns
  • Manual records feed timesheets too

Bulk timesheets

Skip opening days one by one for large crews: convert planned hours to actual for a date range and a group of workers, or upload the timesheet with the Excel template. A file with errors saves nothing.

  • Bulk action by date range and worker
  • Excel template downloaded from the system
  • Days with actual records are skipped
  • Month locked when payroll closes

Seasonal worker records

Add workers in bulk via Excel at the start of the season and deactivate them with an exit reason when it ends. When a worker returns next season, reactivate them with a return date instead of entering everything again.

  • Bulk employee upload via Excel
  • SGK exit reason and future-dated exits
  • Reactivation with a return date
  • Workers fill in missing details themselves

Payroll and SGK

Bring timesheet, leave and deduction data into one period screen and preview payroll before closing. Handle SGK hire and exit procedures right next to payroll.

  • Validation panel flags missing data up front
  • SGK window points to the field to fix
  • Bank list for salary payments
  • Period data exported to Excel

Worker shuttles and communication

Set up worker shuttles so everyone sees their own, and send route changes only to the people on that shuttle. Share daily work and weather notices by SMS, and let workers send suggestions anonymously if they prefer.

  • Route changes only to that shuttle's riders
  • Workers see their own shuttle details
  • Announcements sent by SMS
  • Anonymous suggestions and complaints

Shift planning

Build rosters for milking, feeding and night checks in livestock. Record worker preferences and let the preference-first suggestion spread duties fairly.

  • Shift templates for recurring care routines
  • Preference-first suggestion with fair distribution
  • Workers see how often their preferences are met
  • Working-time rules checked before publishing
