4C Refer issues impacting on achievement of employee, employer and/or client rights and responsibilities

Every community services environment should have policies and procedures that outline the rights and responsibilities of all workers in that workplace. These policies help workers to comply with their legislative duties.

Employers and employees will share some common rights and responsibilities in the workplace. However there will also be role-specific rights and responsibilities that will apply individually to employers and others that will apply to employees.

It is important that workers have a clear understanding of their rights and responsibilities in the workplace, and also understand what issues can impact upon them achieving those rights and responsibilities.
