Satara Kiwi Packing Night Shift

12 May 2011

We received a call from Satara today. Finally we obtained packing offer, but it would be night shift (6pm - 4.30am). Night shift is paid 1.50 NZD more per hour than day shift and packing's working hour is longer than picking's. We had no choice but to accept the offer in order to earn more and cover our weekly expenses.

Since packing and picking both do not work everyday, probably only a few days per week, we wish to work both if there is no conflict, of course not on the same day. For example, if we only need to pack on monday, tue and wednesday, we can actually pick on the following few days if there is no rain. Unfortunately, it may not work out as planned as picking and packing can fall on the same day. Hopefully our kiwi picking contractor doesn't mind we only work on free day.
