Good labour relations between employers and their employees are fundamental to the prosperity of any business. Employees who are aware of their obligations will be more efficient, whereas employers who are well informed of their rights will be able to effectively manage their business and prevent any and all problems that may be prejudicial to working relationships between the parties involved.
