Industry pack: Agriculture

Agriculture adds what a agriculture organisation needs on top of HCM Core: seasonal worker, harvest output, farm certificate, farm incident. Every screen carries charts, and the Overview answers the questions this industry asks first. It works with the people already in HCM Core and Employee; it changes nothing there.

1. Who uses it

Role	What they do
Farm / estate manager	Plans seasonal labour and reads cost per hectare.
Crew leader	Checks pesticide and machinery certificates before work.
HR / compliance	Tracks housing, safety and worker documents.

2. Before you start

• Installed plugin: hcm-industry-agriculture (free tier; needs HCM Foundation and Employee). No licence feature has to be granted.
• Access: tenant administrators can use every screen; the Overview needs a tenant administrator or Report.View.
• Trial data: in a trial tenant, generate the Agriculture industry pack in Demo Data: 10 seasonal worker, 12 harvest output, 10 farm certificate, 6 farm incident.

3. Set up

1. Open Agriculture > Seasonal Workers and register each worker with crop and season.
2. Record Harvest Output per crew per day (weight picked, hours worked).
3. Record Certificates (pesticide handling, tractor operation, food safety).
4. Record Farm Incidents.

4. Daily use

4.1 Seasonal worker

A seasonal or casual farm worker, the crop and season they work, and whether they return. Open Seasonal worker in the sidebar under Industry Pack, Agriculture. Choose Add seasonal worker to add a record, click a row to change or delete it. The fields are: worker, crop, season, start date, returning.

4.2 Harvest output

Weight picked and hours worked by a crew on a day. Yield per hour is the productivity figure. Open Harvest output in the sidebar under Industry Pack, Agriculture. Choose Add harvest output to add a record, click a row to change or delete it. The fields are: crew, crop, date, kilograms picked, hours worked.

4.3 Farm certificate

Certificates needed to apply pesticide, drive machinery or handle food. Open Farm certificate in the sidebar under Industry Pack, Agriculture. Choose Add farm certificate to add a record, click a row to change or delete it. The fields are: worker, certificate, status, expires on.

4.4 Farm incident

Injuries, near misses and chemical exposures on the farm. Open Farm incident in the sidebar under Industry Pack, Agriculture. Choose Report farm incident to add a record, click a row to change or delete it. The fields are: incident, type, area, occurred on.

5. Charts, reports and exports

Figure	What it counts
Seasonal workers
Returning workers %
Kilograms per labour hour
Certificates valid %
Incidents, last 12 months
Kilograms per hour by crew	Picking productivity
Seasonal workers by crop	Where the labour goes
Certificate status	Valid, expiring, expired
Incidents by type	Injury and exposure events

Every list page also has charts of its own records (by status or category, and a trend), and the platform grid offers search, paging, column choice and export.

6. On a phone or tablet

Every screen works on a phone: tiles, charts and lists stack one per row, and the add and edit dialogs fit the screen.

7. Rules and limits

• Piece-rate pay and minimum-wage top-ups follow national rules and are not calculated here.
• Worker housing and transport are not modelled: record them in your own register if you provide them.
• The figures are only as good as the records entered. Benchmarks differ between sources, so none is hard-coded as a target: read the figures against your own history.

8. Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause and fix
A chart says "Nothing to show yet"	No records yet, or none with the date or category the chart needs. Add records or generate the demo pack.
The Overview says forbidden	Your login is not a tenant administrator and lacks Report.View.
A screen is missing from the sidebar	The plugin is not installed for this tenant. Ask a platform administrator to install hcm-industry-agriculture.
