In Australian livestock farming, volatility is part of the job. Markets move, seasons shift, and conditions can change overnight. Most people think it makes proactive advisory almost impossible.

But here's the thing: volatility isn't the argument against planning. It's the argument for it.

A good forward plan doesn't need to predict what's coming. It needs to move with it—flexing as conditions change, so that when a decision lands, the whole farm team already has what they need to respond.

But what does that look like? Learn more about forward planning in a volatile market, and what it takes to build it:

Do you know the difference between a Contractor and an Employee?

There are a range of factors to consider when working out if someone is an employee or an independent contractor.

Working out whether or not someone is an employee, or an independent contractor can be a complex legal question. There may be consequences, for example, about how much tax should be withheld or how much super you need to pay. In some instances, you may want to get professional advice.

If this is a topic relevant to your business, please reach out to us today for a complimentary consultation with our HR consultant.
