“Being a good boss involves constructive communication with employees, maintaining records, knowledge of the relevant awards and their obligations and promotion of safe work practices,” Mrs Kusuma said.
“The world of workplace relations is ever changing and like all other bosses, farmers need to keep up to date with their obligations.
“Failure to do so could be costly.”
She said the session would cover the Pastoral and Horticulture Awards, and hiring and firing.
Holding Redlich lawyers will talk about succession planning, and Prime Super will speak about how to best manage superannuation commitments.
- The workshop will be held at the Tamworth Hotel on Tuesday, March 20, 1pm-3pm
