The rights and responsibilities of the employees and employers have to be clear.     Hence the examples of employer’s responsibilities and rights are:

1. Employers have to give their employees a place to work and make sure they have access to it. So the employers must give them the tools, equipment and other things they need to do their work and their right is to get the best of operational efficiency.

2. Employers have to pay their employees the salary and benefits they agreed to, including vacation, paid holidays like rewards for the motivation of the employees. Hence the business has the right to have satisfied and loyal employees.

3. Employers must make sure their employees’ working conditions are safe and human rights are well followed at work.  The right of the employer is to get the best and safe working from their employees with the best of safety guidelines in the operations.

4. The employers must give their employees a written notice that their contracts are ending or that they are being laid off. Note that employers can pay employees a sum of money instead of giving the notice as an incentive for the notice period. The right of the employer is to have the right to engage and layoff the employees as per the needs of the business.

5. Employers should always treat their employees with respect. They must make sure their employees are not harassed or discriminated against. The rights of the employer in this case are the loyalty and respect of the laws of the organization and follow them.
