Condition of employment

Conditions of employment refer to the terms and requirements that are set by an employer for employees to follow. These conditions can include various elements such as hours of work, salary, benefits, and job duties. Employers establish conditions of employment to protect their interests and to ensure that their employees meet their expectations.

The employer is the party who has the authority to determine conditions of employment. In most cases, this means that the employer establishes policies regarding things like work hours and pay rates.

In some cases, unions also play a role in determining conditions of employment. Finally, governments can impose laws that govern how employers treat their employees — these are known as regulations or statutes.

The basic conditions of employment include things like:

• Work hours, including when and where you work (e.g., full-time or part-time)
• Payment, which could be hourly or salary depending on your position
• Benefits, such as health insurance and paid time off

The condition of employment can change depending on many factors like the type of job or industry. The employer may choose to change an existing condition if they feel that it is necessary for them or their business' profitability. An example might be lowering wages because profits are down due to market conditions, or increasing wages because profits are up due to market conditions (or perhaps even just because).
