Sri Lanka is a mixed economy, operated by both private and public sectors. Foreign investment is encouraged and several free zones have been set up. Its economy is based on agriculture and services and is surrounded by natural resources. Sri Lanka's import sector includes petroleum, consumables, machinery, equipment and motor vehicles. Exports include garments, tea, rubber, coconut products, gems and jewelry.
A workplace or organization is generally a place of people from diverse geographies, origins, disciplines, degrees, communities, and cultures. Everyone is expected to come together and work 100% to achieve the company's common goals. All employers and employees in an organization have few employee rights and obligations.
The whole system is very simply constructed. All employees and employers working for the company are assigned certain rights and obligations. Each member of the company has made it clear what to do after coming and attending the organization.
The roles, employee rights, and responsibilities of everyone working in the organization persist, but when confusion arises due to undefined roles and responsibilities, the consequences are cumbersome and difficult to manage. That's because all people, departments, or groups of the future have common goals, all have interests, and are interdependent. A delay in work in one department can have a significant impact on the tasks and responsibilities of the other department.
We are joining this blog today to deepen our employee rights and responsibilities. Read all sections of the article to better understand this topic.
Definition of Employee Rights
It is defined as a predefined right or privilege of an employee associated with an organization. It is intended to ensure that you are treated fairly by your employer. Such requests can be made to the employer if the employee believes there is something going on within the organization other than what they committed to at the end of their employment.
● The Right to Know
You have the right to receive information about matters affecting your health and safety.
● The right to Refuse
You have the right to refuse dangerous or unhealthy work.
● The Right to Participate
You have the right to be a member of a health and safety committee or to be a health and safety representative.
Definition Of Employee
Responsibilities
Each employee associated with the company is assigned specific responsibilities to perform daily, weekly or monthly. This responsibility defines the exact path employees must follow every day. Employees are rewarded for performing well in such roles. Defining commitments also helps avoid confusion and confusion among employees about what the organization needs to do. In fact, this clarity helps the company reach its goals sooner than expected.(Azmi, W. 2022)

Hi Niranchala. The articles outlines what the rights and responsibilities of an employee. Not knowing these would also lead to some consequences including a lack of protection against discrimination and harassment, unfair pay, legal action, and social and economic consequences. It is important for employees to educate themselves on their rights and responsibilities in the workplace, and to hold employers accountable for complying with labour laws. What is your view point on this ?
ReplyDeleteBoth employees and employers should be aware well of the labour laws. And My next article will follow with more information. There are quite a lot of labour laws in Sri Lanka. But I've mentioned a few of them.

DeleteRegarding the statement on Sri Lanka's economy, it provides a brief overview of the country's economic system and its major sectors, as well as its import and export industries. However, it would be beneficial to include more specific data or statistics to support these claims and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the economy.
ReplyDeleteAs for the discussion on employee rights and responsibilities in the workplace, it highlights the importance of having clear definitions and expectations for both employers and employees. The listed employee rights, such as the right to know and the right to refuse dangerous work, are essential to maintaining a safe and fair work environment. Additionally, defining employee responsibilities can help promote productivity and prevent confusion and conflicts within the organization. Good article .
I agree and thank you for your feedback
DeleteA good article on employee rights. However, to be fair on both employer and employee, the responsibilities of an employee also matters a lot. If the employee too does their work diligently they can always speak up for their right if it is not met.

ReplyDeleteHere Department of Labor, and international labor organizations are defined employee rights and sometimes they involved in shorted unacceptable working practices,
However, most of the public and private sector organizations have their own unions, which also unconditionally involving towards employee rights. In today's context, government unions, and their actions became popular topics with the concept of privatization.
On the other side some businesses, especially the SME sector not concerned about employee rights.
