UNER (United Nations Employment Rights)

UNER Safety Rights
The UNER Safety Rights requires that employers provide a danger-free workplace. UNER also requires that employers must provide work place safety training.
All employers are required to display and keep displayed, a poster prepared by the UN informing employees of the protections of the UNER safety rights. The poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees and applicants for employment can see it.

UNER Minimum Wage Rights
The UNER minimum wage rights state that no employers are aloud to pay less than the basic up keep of 1 person in there national currency. However they are aloud to raise the national minimum wage by as much as the nation’s government please.
Every employer of employees subject to the UNER minimum wage Rights must post, and keep posted, a notice explaining the rights in a conspicuous place in all of their establishments so as to permit employees to readily read it.

UNER Vacation and Holiday Rights
All employers must ensure that all full time employees are granted at least 4 weeks paid holiday leave a year.

UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights
The UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights
Entitles a covered employee to take up to 12 weeks of leave in a 12-month period for the birth or adoption of a child, or the "serious health condition" of the employee or the employee's child, spouse, or parent. To protect this right, the UNER prohibits an employer from interfering with an employee's attempt to exercise his leave right or retaliating against an employee for opposing practices made unlawful under the UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights.
The UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights entitles employees to retain any employer-paid health benefits while using UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights. Upon return from UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights leave, an employee must be restored to the employee's original job, or to an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. In addition, an employee's use of UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights leave cannot result in the loss of any employment benefit that the employee earned or was entitled to before using UNER Family/Medical Leave Rights leave, nor be counted against the employee under a no fault attendance policy.

UNER Break Rights
All employers must allow no less than 35 minutes of each working day be granted to there employees for breaks.

UNER Employment Agreement Rights
All employers must issue a contract which sets forth the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, benefits, job responsibilities, bonus potential,
Employees must agree to this contract if they think it, suits there requirements, applys to all of the UNER Employment Agreement Rights, and if they lawfully wish to take the job vacancy after reading the contract.

UNER Illegal Termination Rights
You cannot legally be fired for any discriminatory reasons – including race, religion, sex, or national origin discrimination. Neither can you be fired for whistle blowing (Telling the appropriate authorities of the employee’s illegal or unlawful doings)

I had to shorten it so i could make it a proposal :D it was more complex but its simple now.

How about people who work part time? If someone works three hours a day, five days a week, it could be argued they don't deserve a 35 minute break. Could you maybe alter it so its something like 5 minutes per hour they work, or the like?


Also - on a more general note - there are spelling and grammar issues ("granted to their employees" as opposed to "granted to there employees") - but they can be tidied up as it goes along I guess :}

if you can add the phrase pro-rata that would sort that little hiccup.

I like it - it's not UNified like I prefer proposals, but it's sound.

Give me a moment, I think I can do something with this so it is written in the same way as other UN resolutions. If you don't like it you don't have to use it!

Determined that employers display and maintain a poster informing employees of employee UNER legislation. The poster must be displayed in a conspicuous place where employees and applicants for employment can see it.

Urges governments to enshrine in law a national minimum wage no lower than the minimum subsistence level within the nation

Determined that employees are granted 20 days paid leave per year, or a proportional amount per-rata.

Entitles employees to take up to 12 weeks leave over a 12 month period for the birth or adoption of a child without interference or consequence from employers.

Urges nations to enshrine in law the right to breaks during each working day of at least 35 minutes, or a proportional amount on part-time employment.

Determined that all employment is undertaken by contract which sets forth the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, benefits, job responsibilities, bonus potential, Employees must consent to the contract and be signed by all parties suits there requirements.

Urges nations to outlaw the practice of sacking or dismissal on discriminatory ground – including race, religion, sex, or national origin discrimination. Also outlaw the practice of constructive dismissal, and set up legal systems to provide compensation reviews.

Stealthmunchkania considers that as religion is a choice, unlike race, national origin or (birth) gender, it should not be included among these kinds of discrimination.
It is unreasonable to discriminate against someone based on matters over which they have no control. It is entirely reasonable to discriminate against someone based on choices they have made.

And yet one could aruge if you were born in to a family who believes in The Three, and are raised as a believer in The Three, you might not actually have a choice about it - if your family and your school doesn't teach you about other religions, how are you going to chose one or another?

(edit)
Further more - what if every company believes it? Wouldn't that mean every country could just refuse to employ certain religions? You dont' see that as remarkably discriminatory?

I can think of more examples where it would be reasonable to not employ someone because of their sex than because of their religion

I am not to botherd about the workers within my nation.
They take a job to pay me so it makes no sence for me to vote this resolution into power as it would cause me to loose 2 holidays a month. :mad:

But there are already some protected jobs - actors/actresses for example, and prison warders and - sometimes - doctors and nurses (depending on the sex of their patients).

This is (I assume) general laws for jobs that have no legal grounds for exceptions.
