Workplace Rights

Workplace Rights

Employment laws and regulations cover the rights of both the employee and the employer. It is evident that in the modern days, most of the controversy and legal disputes within an organization revolve around misunderstanding between the employer and the employee rights and regulation (Albiston, 2006). The complexity and diversity of employment relationships, there is a high possibility of misunderstanding among the workers; hence employment laws are very crucial in any workplace to ensure that duties are carried as expected with the aim of achieving the goals and set objectives of the organization. The essay focuses on various workplace rights that .

have to be prioritized.

Firstly, workers’ rights are designed freedoms and basic human rights, which ensure that there is fairness, respect, dignity, and equality at any workplace despite the geographical location. The right to health and safety ensures that workers are free from illness injury, depending on the type of job. The right to equal treatment helps to mitigated discrimination issues based on either sex, religion, age, and race (Albiston, 2006). Moreover, the right to fair pay protects the workers from being exploited and working over hours without payment increment. There is also the right to privacy that protects the employee from having personal belongings and conversations in a work station.

Consequently, my opinion on the organization threshold is that employees should not share the organization’s secrets since this creates a loophole to face stiff competition from other companies. Therefore, it is important to monitor the mode of communication; however, it is a breach of their right to privacy. An example is monitoring their emails.

In conclusion, it is undoubted that workers’ rights are of paramount importance in ensuring that the employees have favorable working conditions. When employees are protected, the company’s productivity will increase. However, in case an employee is not loyal to the company, the dismissal may vary based on the organization’s policies.
