According to the report. about the only real reason assigned for changing the law is the difficulty of keeping the records. The Senate committee report contains this sentence: In general. after a farm worker has worked for one employer continuously for an entire calendar quarter. he is regularly employed in succeeding quarters if he works for that employer on a fulltime basis on at least 60 days during the quarter. In other words. the present law does not take in all the migrants who ramble around over the country and work a little here and there. here today and gone tomorrow. Reading further. the report says: Records must be kept over a substantial period before it is clear whether or not an individual is covered. The Federal law makes it rather severe on the employer and holds the employer responsible for knowing whether or not the man was employed during the preceding quarter. and when he meets the requirements.
