The main responsibilities of the employee is to be honest, loyal, competent, and act in the employer’s best interests. Obligations of employer includes payment of wages, safe workplace, and good working conditions for the employee. Tort Law Law of Negligence involves unintentional conduct causing injury or damage to others. “The required faults is found in the failure of the wrongdoer to live up to the degree of skill or care required in the circumstances”, as in Crocker v. Sundance Northwest Resorts Ltd .
This requires specific intention, which shows that the D must have been culpable voluntarily. Regarding its role in civil law, it is essential to prove fault in some areas, but not in others. For example proving fault is crucial for a successful claim in negligence. Here, fault is tested in breach, which states that D is at fault if they do not act like the ordinary, sensible individual. For example, the defendant in Paris V Stepney BC was at fault by failing to provide protective goggles when the ordinary, prudent employer would have.
It may boil down to which attorney wins the heart of the judge, but according to the text it says “the outcome depends on the how the judge decides a reasonable person in the position of the defendant would act in the particular circumstances of the case” (Roger LeRoy Miller, 2010). We know that Mrs. Esposito suffered an injury as a result of the collision. We know that Mr. Davis was the cause of that collision. I think that Mr. Davis did breach his duty of care because “individuals are required to exercise a reasonable standard of care in their activities.” The Reasonable Person Standards the courts use state that “If the so-called reasonable person existed, he or she would be careful, conscientious, even tempered and honest” (Roger LeRoy Miller, 2010). In this case Mr. Davis was neither, careful or conscientious.

Ethical standards are the code of conduct required by the organization for workers to follow. The relationship between organizational culture and ethics is that the organizational culture guides workers when faced with ethical problems. If the organization culture counters what they are required to do ethically, workers may put the organization in jeopardy by not act ethically. When a worker is faced with a decision that others within the organization think as appropriate, though it is unethical, the worker may follow what is acceptable as per the culture. It is the relationship between organizational culture and ethics that can get businesses into significant trouble in the long term.
Law Chapelton v Barry Urban District Council shows that unsigned exclusion clauses need to be clearly defined to a reasonable person. Another case highlighting the need for exclusions to be clearly informed to the other party is the case of Causer v Browne. As for the case of White v John Warwick & Co Ltd the court held that the company providing defective product is liable for their negligence. If reasonably sufficient notice is given as to the existence of an exemption clause, then it is accepted by the courts that that clause becomes parts of the contract. The case that set this dictum, and which laid our the guidelines for testing the reasonableness and sufficiency of the notice
The one problem with the code of ethics is that we can't always have the answers black and white. Sometimes there are grey areas where the answers aren't so simple. Business ethics - Generally it's coming to know what is right or wrong in the workplace and doing what's right with regard to effects of products/services and in relationships with stakeholders. Business ethics strive to evaluate proper business policies and practices regarding potentially controversial issues, such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary responsibilities.

To look at the statement in its simplest form, the care workers on the front line are the care givers, they are employed to carry out a specific task
