A Zoom and in person workshop on Wednesday, 6 October from 3.00pm is being planned for employers wanting to learn more about hiring orchard and packhouse staff.
While the workshop content is still being developed at this stage, the topics being covered may include the following:
- orchard bonus and/or incentive schemes
- orchard provided accommodation
- wet weather stand downs
- employment contracts
- working hours and days
- holidays and statutory holidays
- calculating paid breaks
- employing and managing staff during Covid.
This is a great opportunity to learn if your employment policies and practices are up to date and will help you attract and retain great employees in a competitive market.
Details on how to attend the workshop either in person or via Zoom will be included in future Prunings and the website.
