Employees Duty to the Firm
Harmony between employees and employers is only possible only when there is no selfishness in the relationship. There are a lot of employers or firms obligation to an employee. But for every employer’s obligation there is also a corresponding obligation or responsibility of employee to the employer. While employers give what is just and right, employees should also be obedient, because obedience counts a lot. An employee should be respectful while an employer should not delay the giving of wages and salaries. Because delaying of wages is one way of oppressing the right of an employee. An employee or worker should be sincere in rendering services, while employer should pay wages on time. During working hours, an employee should avoid chatter, while employers should not exploit workers. A good employer does not threaten so as a nice servant should not be lazy. When an honest worker does not pilfer or steal, an employer does not defraud too. These, are only a few enumerations on the reciprocal obligations between employers and employee.
Sincerity in rendering services can be shown ideally by doing dutifully the job entrusted with or without employer supervision. Absenteeism, tardiness, mediocrity and inefficiency at work, and ignoring workplace policies and regulations are not manifestations of sincere and faithful service. These are unchristian traits and attitudes and will not contribute to harmonious employer-employee relationships. When I was working as an embassy staff at the Lebanese Embassy based in Tokyo, I could say that I did the best I can in rendering the service expected of me. Even though the contract says that I would only work 8 hours a day and would assist the ambassador with his personal needs, I together with my Filipino colleagues would always stay late at night and end working up to 16 hours a day. Exceediency of the service they say, because our boss needs us more than the time we should work. Receiving guest and
