The Bill

In the United Republic of Tanzania, our  legal system is based on the English Common Law system. This system follows something called a Bill of Rights, which basically lists all the fundamental rights of all people living in Tanzania. According to TCCIA (check reference page), this Bill is "the foundation that governs all other legal requirements in the workplace."

These are some of requirement listed in the "Bill" :

"Employers and managers have the following responsibilities:

• Protecting and serving the interest of the business.
• Determining the objectives of the business.
• Arranging the best use of organizational resources (this includes human resources).
• Ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Making sure that the necessary standards of the product or service are maintained.
• Making sure that the operations of the business are carried out in a cost effective way, this includes the control of labour costs.

Employees have a particular role to play, they must:.

• Behave in the required manner at work.
• Perform their work as required.
• Remain loyal and obedient to the employer.
• Stick to reasonable rules and instructions.
• Exercise their right to association, bargain and strike in a responsible manner."

(TCCIA, n.d.)

I personally never knew about the Bill, and I found it super interesting! I found the last point very interesting in the employer section, because I would have never thought that would be a requirement that would be listed. I just thought that if someone has a business it's their decision on how to handle the money, although it's must to pay the employee's salary.
