EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP IN WORKPLACE
Introduction:
The employee relations refers to the efforts that an organisation incorporates to
manage the relationships among their employees to ensure proper workplace environment
and for the future betterment of the company (Shields et.al., 2015). It is essential for an
organisation to provide fair and proper treatment to the employees so that the trust is
maintained. The loyalty and commitment on the behalf of the employees is important for the
company to proliferate and perform well in the market scenario. The employees should
receive benefits which involve their ordinary salary and wages in accordance with the health
care coverage as well as opportunities of parental and sick leaves. The employee entitlements
are the minimum rules that are set out in the National Employment Standards. The Fair Work
Information Statement involves the enterprise agreements that the employees deserve,
including the leave policies, the hours of breaks and work along with the minimum wage pay.
The organisation ABC is the workplace where the interview has been held of three employees
and the feedback have been used to determine the entitlement of the workplace instrument.
Discussion
A. The company ABC is an organisation where the workers and the employees face a
number of issues. Having discussed about the workplace issues with the employees of
the organisation, and having interviewed three person, I have found out that they
suffer from issues like communication problems as well as labour force
discrimination. The major issue that they deal with is low motivation and low job
satisfaction. Having been an employee of the organisation myself, I agree to the
feedback that they I have received from the other two employees.
An industrial instrument is a legal application, and it involves the agreements or the
enterprise awards under the Fair Work Art. The organisation that I work in, has an

enterprise agreement which is a collective agreement that was aimed at setting out of
the labour wages and the proper working conditions for a particular group of
employees within the organisation. This industrial agreement was applicable to the
employees and the staffs because they were suffering from the work entitlement of
low wages and penalty rates (Macdonald, Bentham and Malone, 2018). From the
feedback of the employees about the workplace issues, it can be analysed that the
employees are receiving low wages with respect to their contribution to the
organisation. The staffs of the Company ABC are not paid their ordinary wages and
salary as required by the legislative agreement and the individual contract agreements.
They are even not paid for their overtime work and are prevented from their daily
required allowances which include the travel and the entertainment facilities. The
employee feedback that had been received had a complaint that there had been
deductions of the income tax from their pay. According to Horodnic (2016), the wage
pay entitlement also includes the maintenance of the payroll records of the employees
which would have a compliance with the legislative instrument of the organisation.
Thus the legal instrument of the wage policies is applicable in this organisation in
accordance with the irregular pay of the employees (Thornthwaite and Markey, 2014)
B. According to the National Employment Standards and the national minimum wage
policy the entitlements that an employee should have been getting in an organisation
is about the flexible work timings and the different types of leaves like annual leave,
parental leave or sick leaves (Anderson, 2013). However the entitlement of proper
wage pay and the ordinary salary of the employees is not included in the National
Employment Standards. According to McKenzie (2018), the employees should have
been receiving the pay legally on basis of the lowest hourly rate. I have analysed that
the leave policies are indirectly linked with the wage policies. If the employees of the
