Season End and Exit
Closing out a season without losing the people you want back.
What this coversHideMost agricultural exits are not resignations. A season ends, work stops, and the same people are needed again in four months — so the exit process has to leave the door open rather than close a file.
- Season-end release list by village and crew
- Final wage settlement before crews disperse
- Attendance and piece-rate reconciliation
- Advance and deduction settlement
- Tools, equipment and PPE return
- Contact details captured for the next season
- Crew leader and supervisor feedback per worker
- Rehire eligibility marked at release
The single most valuable output is a rehire list — who to call first next season, by skill and by village. Most agribusinesses recruit from scratch every year because nobody wrote it down.
- Season ends
- Reconcile and settle
- Return assets
- Record rehire eligibility
- Call list for next season
The general method — what exit and alumni management covers, the questions it answers and what an engagement produces — is the same whatever the sector, and is set out on the exit and offboarding process page. What is above is the part that differs for agriculture and agribusiness.
