What other farmer have said about this workshop: “It’s a must for anyone employing staff…… Gives you the confidence to implement correct contracts and terminology for your workers…. The day was excellent. We had made efforts to comply with our requirements as employers however the course made us aware of gaps in our knowledge and current contracts.….. It’s very difficult to find this information elsewhere. Also good suggestions of how to implement these obligations….. Black and white. To the point. Good discussion and lots of practical examples….…”
