WHAT ARE MY DUTIES AS AN EMPLOYEE? The Law imposes three main duties to any employee; the duty to Promote (the employer’s business), the duty of Care and the duty of Trust. Trust, as far as the employment relationship is concerned, is based on honesty and the notion that the employees actions or conduct must be in the best interest of their employers. Whether there, in fact, is a breakdown in any of the three duties in an employment relationship, to such an extent that continued employment relationship is intolerable and therefore justifies dismissal, is determined objectively and will depend on the circumstances of each case. These values must be respected by the employee at all times but the employer MUST always ensure that the decision to dismiss an employee is fair in the totality of circumstances.
