Employment agreements, contract milking and sharemilking contracts

Paul Reidy - providing expert advice to Taranaki dairy farmers about: - Individual employment agreements - Contract milking agreements - Variable order agreements (aka Lower order agreements) - Herd owning sharemilking agreements

If you are planning to employ staff, contract milkers, variable order or herd-owning sharemilkers, it’s vital that any agreements and contracts are completed and administered correctly. This is particularly the case with the variable order sharemilking agreement which operates under the NZ Sharemilking Agreements Order 2011.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use Federated Farmers’ Agreements and can provide advice about which details should be included in your different agreements, as well as advice about key points of Sharemilking Agreements Order 2011.

 

Here are some of the factors you need to consider. Do you have:

• Detailed job descriptions for staff that lead easily into straightforward performance reviews?
• A dairy farm policy manual?
• A dairy farm safety plan?
• Agreements for contract milkers and sharemilkers that refer to specific policies and farm inputs?

 

I can provide consultancy advice about all of these items as well as:

• Advise you how to retain your sharemilkers when times are tough.
• Provide financial management advice to your sharemilkers.
