  • $22.70 per hour + 8% holiday pay

  • The pay is processed weekly

  • Yes

  • We record every bucket you pick.

    Simplifying the numbers:

    If you earn $20.00 per hour and the buck rate is $5.00, you’ll need to pick 4 buckets to break even.

    If you pick 6 buckets per hour you’ll earn a bonus of $10.00 per hour

    6 x $5.00 = $30.00

    $30.00 (total) - $20.00 (per hour) = $10.00 Bonus

    This bonus is discretionary and dependent upon quality checks on your fruit harvested

    Please note this is only available for Stonefruit Thinning, Cherry Picking and Nectarine Picking and does not apply for Blossom Thinning or Packhouse work.

    Long answer - Our starting dates can vary each year due to weather and crop conditions. We will try to give an accurate starting indication but this date may change as we get closer to harvest. As we get closer we will update you more frequently as we get more certainty.
