DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EMPLOYEES

- Representing members fairly and effectively in relation to matters arising within the
undertaking or establishment in which they work and which concern employment and
conditions of employment
- Participating in negotiation and grievance procedures as provided for in

employer/trade union agreements or in accordance with recognized custom and
practice in the undertaking or establishment in which they work
- Co-operating with the management of the undertaking or establishment in ensuring

the proper implementation and observance of employer/trade union agreements, the
use of agreed dispute and grievance procedures and the avoidance of any action,
especially unofficial action, which would be contrary to such agreements or procedures
and which would affect the continuity of operations or services

employee representatives should conform to the same job performance standards,
company rules, disciplinary conditions and other conditions of employment as

Manpower Qualifications Company Rules and Policies
Policies are to a company what rules are to the players of a game. They are the
framework and constraints within which everyone can strive for individual and collective
success. Besides, for anyone who has watched a few kids playing together it’s pretty
obvious why rules are important. And why it’s a good idea to write them down. Far too
many companies, especially small businesses, neglect to get the basics down in writing
early enough. There’s a tendency to believe that “our company doesn’t need them” and
that spoken instructions will suffice. As soon as a company starts growing the limits of
this approach become obvious. Putting company policies down in writing makes them
official. Employees know what the company takes seriously and how they can keep up-
to-date with their rights and responsibilities. People work better when they know where
they stand. No-one wants to focus on the negative but disputes can and will arise.
Having the ground rules established in the clearest and simplest terms helps to limit the
damage when they do. And in the instance that disputes lead to court, written policies
can be essential in ensuring a swift and fair outcome.
