This enables us to ensure that our people are paid correctly and in accordance with New Zealand laws. It also means that there is no middle man taking a portion of staff wages, a common occurrence in many horticultural industries. Another benefit of direct employment is the high level of communication. People always know what is happening for the day and where and when work will commence.
