Unit 14: Assignment 2
Aspects of Employment Law
P4 - Identify the rights and responsibilities of the employer and employees in
a selected business organisation.
And
M2 - Analyse rights and responsibilities of employees and employer in a
selected business organisation.
It is important that Tesco is aware of their rights and responsibilities so their employees are
kept safe in the work environment. It is also important that the employees understand that
they are obliged to follow the terms they agreed to with Tesco when they accepted
employment. As an employee, they do have their own rights that need to be considered.
Firstly, it is very important that Tesco’s employees support the aims of their business. Tesco
needs to be assured that their employees are working towards the right aims and have a
good attitude in the work environment. Therefore, they will know that their employees will
have the right intentions.
Tesco has a human resource department who are responsible for issuing employees with a
contract of employment. The contract needs to be clear so the employee knows what is
expected of them and it is important that the contract isn’t discriminatory in any way. The
contract would be needed in order to outline the terms and conditions of service for the
employee. The contract needs to include information about: the employees wage; how
many hours they need to work; their rights to holiday or sick pay and the rights they have
regarding maternity or paternity leave. It is important that potential employees of Tesco
ensure that they are on the right type of contract so the needs of both the employee and
Tesco are fulfilled. Some employees may have certain days they are unable to work due to
other commitments so it is important that Tesco works alongside the employee to work
around these issues. The solution should be stated within the contract. Once the contract
has been given and an agreement has been made, the employee needs to stick to what is
stated within their contract.
Tesco’s would need to take into consideration their employees needs when it comes to
working on Sunday. Some employees may have religious reasons or family commitments
that would prevent them from working on a Sunday. Tesco would need to work around this
and ensure the details are included within their contract. The Working Time Regulation Act
1998 would support this as it allows employees to turn down work if they believe they are
