Skills for Work: Rights and Responsibilities in the Workplace
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Rights and Responsibilities in the Workplace is a 20 hour Skills for Work unit, from Entry 1 to Level 2, about employees and employers, employee rights and responsibilities, employment contracts, responsible behaviour, equality and fairness, and where to get advice about problems at work. It is one unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Life or Skills for Work Award, Certificate or Diploma. Literacy carries the unit: learners use workplace vocabulary, explain why rights matter, read a contract, research advice organisations, discuss consequences and suggest how to raise a complaint. Numeracy is light, limited to reading pay, hours and holidays in a contract.

Explaining why rights and responsibilities matter
Level 1 learners describe why rights and responsibilities are important for a fair and safe workplace and outline why equality, respect and fairness matter. Level 2 learners explain the same points, describe what could happen if rights or responsibilities are ignored, and explain how discrimination or unfair treatment affects an individual and a team. Entry 3 learners state why rights and responsibilities are important.

Suggesting how to raise a complaint at work
Entry 3 learners suggest how they could raise a complaint in work. The amplification sets out thinking through what happened, talking to a manager and putting the complaint in writing with the problem, dates, names and what should happen next. Writing a full grievance is a suggested Level 1 and Level 2 activity, not a criterion.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes run from Entry 1 to Level 2: "S663E1", "S663E2", "S663E3", "S663L1" and "S663L2", with 20 GLH (unit overview, page 3).
- Assessment is not a writing test: "extended written work is not required unless appropriate", and judgements should focus on the standard, not "spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (sources of evidence, page 15).
- Spoken evidence counts. The sources of evidence include "teacher observation notes (group discussion, one-to-one discussion, role-play)" and recordings of role-plays or discussions (page 15).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (page 16).
- AI misuse is malpractice. Examples include "Copying or paraphrasing whole responses of AI-generated content." and "Failing to acknowledge use of AI tools when they have been used as a source of information." (specification section 4.6, page 21).
- Suggested assessment tasks are optional: "These tasks are not mandatory." Teachers may use, adapt or replace them (specification section 4.1, page 18).
- Where a criterion uses a plural without a number, "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (pages 6 and 8).
