Our Employment Philosophy
In respect to providing employment within the local community, our philosophy has always been to endeavor to provide permanent jobs. Due to the seasonal nature of line fishing this has been a mammoth task.
Even so, we have enjoyed an exceptionally good record of labor relations with very low staff turnover over the last few years. In fact many of our original staff are still with us today. This has been due to a good working relationship between management and staff in which ability and performance are the criteria for advancement.
In-house training has provided us with an excellent management team who have been promoted through the ranks. Our style of management is one of engendering team spirit in which all workers are valuable participants.
We are proud to note that our minimum wage currently exceeds our SETA requirements for similar position and companies.
We work a 45 hour week and our permanent staff are part of a provident fund.
