Running head: EMPLOYEES RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Employees Rights and Responsibilities Abstract

This study examined five articles on how the relationship between and employer and employee can be effected as a consequence from the of lack awareness that the employers and employees have statutory and contractual rights, as well as responsibilities. Every employment relationship is governed by an employment contract. Many employees believe that if a written contract or agreement was never signed, an employment contract does not exist. Research shows that an employment contract can take the form of a verbal understanding or a well written document between the employer and the employee. All employment contracts basically cover the same essential elements in either case. The questions that poses and interest will be concluded in my research on the topic does employers and employees understand the essentials of an employment contract. Apparently an employment contract is probably one of the most important legal relationships that an individual will be obligated to fulfill. Therefore, it is important that employees have a clear understanding as to what the terms of that relationship are so that each party is properly protected.

Employees Rights and Responsibilities In recent years an increasing amount of attention has been paid to laws pertaining to protecting employee’s rights. The strongest protection in the area of employee’s rights and responsibilities begins with an employment contract. Many employees believe that if a contract was never signed then a contract does not exist. However, contractual rights can be written out in an employee binding agreement which is an employment agreement between the employer and the employee and it can also be implied or unwritten as a result of understanding ones expectations of what’s acceptable.
