    Employment law fundamentals

    Staff resource management is becoming a bigger issue as horticulture and agricultural businesses grow from single family unit to multiple family and employee dependent operations. It is important that all employees and family members know the business priorities and the reasons for decisions.

    For many developing businesses today, the most important decisions made are those relating to staff recruitment and management. Furthermore, a key part of the staff management process is understanding your rights as an employer under current employment law.
