In order to maintain industrial peace and work in the spirit of harmony and cooperation worker- employer relations should be governed by law. Basic rights of employees should be respected by the employers and the employees should render their obligations to the employers. In Ethiopia labor proclamation No 377/96 puts a detailed list of rights and obligations of these parties. Once an Employment relation is formed there are certain obligations that are imposed on an employer. Such obligations may serve as the rights of the employee by default.
A. Obligations of an Employer

1. To provide work to the worker according to the contract of employment.
2. To provide him with materials and implements necessary for the performance of the work.

7. To give the worker, weekly rest days’ public holidays and leave.
8. When the contract of employment is terminated or whenever the worker so requests, to provide the worker, free of charge, with a certificate stating the type of work he performed, the length of service and the salary he was earning.

6. To inform the employer immediately of any act which endangers himself or his fellow workers or which may prejudice the interests of the undertakings.
7. To observe the provisions of this proclamation, collective agreements, work rules and directives issued in accordance with the law.
