THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF EMPLOYER Responsible to provide work. Previously, there was no responsibility on part of the employer to provide work to the employee as long as the wages are paid.

Nevertheless, there exist a responsibility if; a) the nature of the job is based on the commission; b) the reason of not giving any job is to exclude the employee from the company; c) Prevent any advancement in career. No job, no commission, no promotion.

Responsible to ensure that the work is not against the law For example the employer need to take insurance and road tax for all vehicles owned by the company. Need to acquire necessary permit.

3. Responsible not to assign dangerous job Example in the case of Bouzourou v The Ottoman bank. The Christian employee was assigned to a place where there was a threat to Christian people. The Judge held that the assignment could be void if there was the element of danger and threat. Among the threat; war, disease etc.

4. Responsible to provide a safe and healthy workplace for workers. This includes: i) providing and maintaining safe equipment and safe systems of work (such as controlling entry to high risk areas, controlling work pace and frequency and providing systems to prevent falls from heights)

ii) providing workers actors with adequate facilities (such as clean toilets, cool and clean drinking water, and hygienic eating areas) iii) making sure workers have adequate information, instruction, training and supervision to work in a safe and healthy manner.

The employees need to keep the employer’s trade secret or details of the employer's profits or losses, customers, special methods or techniques used, or any information about the business that might help a competitor. reasonable and not contrary to the public interest.

Some contracts of employment contain an express term preventing the employee, on leaving the employment, from entering into competition with the employer's business. Such a term may be declared void by the courts despite this express agreement, unless it can be shown to be reasonable.
