THE WORKER AND BOSS
(Employee
and employer)
People who work together
in the capacity of employee and employer should relate to each other properly
in accordance with their duties, so that good relations are maintained
and the work proceeds smoothly, by abiding by the principles of conduct
outlined in the teachings on the "lower of the six directions"* as follows:
A.
An employer should support his servants and employees by:
1. Assigning them work in accordance with their strength, sex, age, and
abilities.
2. Paying them wages commensurate with their work and adequate for their
livelihood.
3. Granting them fringe benefits by, for example, providing medical care
in times of sickness.
4. Sharing with them a portion of any special profits that may accrue.
5. Giving them appropriate holidays and time to rest.
B.
An employee helps an employer by:
1. Starting work before him.
2. Stopping work after him.
3. Taking only what is given by the employer.
4. Doing his job well and seeking ways to improve on it.
5. Spreading a good reputation about his employer and his business.
