Getting Dairy Employment Right!

Being a good employer isn’t just about keeping people happy — it’s about running a productive, compliant, and financially smart farming operation. This webinar is designed to give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to get dairy employment right — whether you’re hiring your first team member or reviewing your current practices.

Join the team at CMK Accountants for a practical and down-to-earth session covering the key responsibilities of a dairy farm employer.

You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of: 📝 Employment Agreements - Types of agreements available and how to access them - Other considerations, such as job descriptions : 

💼 Minimum Standards You Must Meet - Minimum wage, rest and meal breaks, annual leave and public holidays

💰 Payroll & Remuneration Essentials - Wages vs salary: what’s best for your team? - Pay frequency, payslips, KiwiSaver, and handling accommodation or rent deductions - Record-keeping requirements  

🛠️ On-Farm Employment Realities - Building fair and sustainable rosters - Farm accommodation: tenancy law, Healthy Homes Standards, and Inland Revenue requirements - Where to find guidance on market pay rates and industry norms

💻 Tools That Can Help - Overview of software options such as Agrismart and Xero 📍

Where to Go for Support - Building the team around you to support you with your employment.

This webinar is aimed at farming employers, aimed at helping get things right from the dairy shed to the spreadsheet.

Bring your questions and join us for a session that’s all about building strong teams while keeping your farm business in good shape!
