Scope
Does the option directly or indirectly affect employers' existing rights and obligations?[1]
Definition
This question helps to evaluate the likely impacts of policy measures and initiatives on the employers' rights and obligations, such as to maintain safe working environments, to implement best health and safety practice, to create trust and cooperation, to respect sutandard and regulations, to fulfil employment contracts. Promoting sustainable and productive relationships between employers and employees based on mutual trust and confidence is a key component of employment legislation. Successful management of health and safety is best achieved through good faith co-operation in the place of work and, in particular, through the input of persons doing the work. There are real benefits to you in ensuring a safe workplace. These include improved productivity, avoiding lost time due to illness and injury, and higher rates of staff retention. Employment and occupation are key elements in guaranteeing equal opportunities for all; they contribute strongly to the full participation of citizens in economic, cultural and social life, and to develop their potential. At the same time, is crucial to preserve employers' rights and opportunities, avoiding discriminatory measures that could damage firms' competitiveness.[1]
