SECTION C: COMPREHENSION. (10 marks)
Read the passage below carefully and answer the questions that follow. Use your own words where necessary.
Every worker has basic rights. These include obvious rights such as right to fair payment for work performed, and the right to perform working hours. Did you also know that employees also have the right to refuse to do unsafe work? It is an employer’s duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers must do all what is reasonably practicable to achieve this.
Workers also have the right to a workplace free of discrimination and harassment. Harassment includes sexual harassment. No employer or senior employee can force or persuade another employee to have illegal sex.
Workers have the right to protection from employer retaliation. This means that employers cannot retaliate against a staff member who takes their legal leave, or who lays a complaint of harassment. Employees have the right to reasonable accommodation for disabilities. For example, employees who have a wheelchair have the right to have ramps, wide doorways and a toilet that accommodates their chair. It is the employee’s responsibility to perform the duties of their position to the best of their ability. Employees must also follow company’s policies and protocols.
They should come to work when expected, manage their time well and seek to be a positive part of the team. Employees must also report hazards and defects observed in the workplace. If employees are aware of dishonest and corrupt activities, they need to report this behavior to hierarchy.
