M2 – Analyse rights and responsibilites of employees and
employer in a selected business organisatonn
In any organisatonn the rights of employees will be the direct responsibility of the employers to
ensure these criteria are met.
For examplen an employer must ensure that employees are recruited fairly and equally based on
their gendern ethnicity and other factorsn as well as when they have been employedn the diferences
in their responsibilites and pay refects equality.
It would be the responsibility of the employer to ensure that their employees earn the minimum
wage or above. It can be seen as the responsibility of the employer to provide this due to the
minimum wage being compulsory and law in the UK as well as a major right for their employeesn
thereforen the employers must make sure that they keep paying workers the legal Natonal
Minimum Wage. If this law is not met by the companyn the workers who are not gaining this wage
can take the company to court to try to gain the money which they are enttled ton as well as the
possibility of them gaining backpay from the money which they were not given while they worked
for the company.
Disputes can be created in jobs over payn especially with regard to the Natonal Minimum Wage. This
is because a large number of workersn for examplen Deliveroo ridersn do not gain a natonal minimum
wage due to the deliveries taking place at random intervals in the dayn rather than all in one go. This
would mean that the worker would not be able to work full tme on this wage and make a livingn
unless they work in an area where there are a large number of deliveries. Thereforen these workers
will argue that they do not gain a minimum wage for a days workn due to the tmes they are earning
this money being extremely dependant on the takeaways which have been ordered.
The company on the other hand will argue that the employees are on a zero hour contractn and that
they are paid minimum wage for the hours which they are workingn which is between the deliveries.
One rights of an employer would be the right to employees who are productve and help the
company to produce the goods and/or services they are manufacturing to a reasonable standardn
and to complete a reasonable amount of work within their working tmen leading to the company
making proft. This would be a responsibility of the employees due to them being employed to carry
out this work to the best of their abilityn thereforen they should strive for this when they are
completng their work. Thereforen it can be seen as the responsibility of the worker to make sure this
is kept up to standard. If the standard and quality of the work slacksn the company has reasonable
reason to fre the worker so they can hire an alternate worker who will complete the job to the
acceptable standardn as well as to gain workers who would be more keen to complete the role to the
best of their ability.
This can lead to disputes between workers and employers due to the employees possibly not
knowing they are not completng the amount of work they should. Furthermoren the law does not
state the exact amount of work which needs to be completedn so this can be diferent for each
business. If the worker believes this has been used unlawfully and they are infact providing
substantal workn they can appeal this at tribunaln which if they winn they will be enttled to
redundancy money from the company. Howevern if the employer wins thisn the worker will have to
pay court proceedings and in cases pay compensaton to the employer.
