Know your workplace rights and responsibilities

Every worker has basic rights. These include obvious rights such as the right to fair payment
for work performed, and the right to defined working hours.
Did you know that employees also have the right to refuse to do unsafe work? It is an
employer’s duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people
who might be affected by their business. Employers must do whatever is reasonably practicable
to achieve this.
Workers also have the right to a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. Harassment
includes sexual harassment. No employer or senior employee can force or persuade another
employee to have sex.
Workers have the right to protection from employer retaliation. This means that employers
cannot retaliate against a staff member who takes their legal leave, or who lays a complaint
of harassment. It also protects workers who report unsafe conditions.
Employees have the right to reasonable accommodation for disabilities. For example, em-
ployees who use a wheelchair have the right to have ramps, wide doorways and a toilet that
accommodates their chair.
It is the employee’s responsibility to perform the duties of their position to the best of their
ability. Employees must also follow company policies and protocols. They should come to
work when expected, manage their time well and seek to be a positive part of the team.
An employee is required to take reasonable care of the health and safety of themselves and
of others who may be affected by what they do or do not do. Employees must also report
hazards and defects observed in the workplace. If employees are aware of dishonest or corrupt
activities, they need to report this behaviour.
Some rights differ in various countries. Some countries give staff the right to six months
maternity leave when an employee has a baby. In some countries this also applies to parents
who adopt a baby. Other countries do not guarantee maternity leave. It is up to each employee
to find out about their rights in their country.
