8.3a) Contractual & Ethical Issues

Contractual

Full Time Contract

A full time contract is amid toward the career based job what this means that the pay is usually much better. You are recommended to work 35-40 hours week. This contract is normally placed on a physical document. You would have perk due to this contract for example sick leave , holiday pay and etc.
 

An example of a full-time contract job is a financial accountant which is in the film and TV industry why there have this specific contract is because there are needed at all time on different production.
 

A good thing for the financial accountant is that you have security for your job you have perk for this contract as maternity leave, sick leave and holiday pay and also the pay is much better due to being a career based job.
 

The negative for the institution is that it is harder to get rid of the employee because there have more rights which means that the institution have to be knowledgeable for there action.

Part Time Contract

A part time contact is a physical document. It is for any job that is under 30 hour a week. It is mostly part of a rotary. 
 

An example of a part-time job in the film and TV industry is that the runner is a person that listens to people and follow their orders such as making coffee and tea for them and other stuff such as holding equipment. How the runner fits into the part time job is that the industry has multiples of them what this means is that they are rotated to one runner to the next.
 

The benefits for the runner is that it allows them to more experience. And also they have the same perks and benefits that a full-time employee has such as maternity leave, holiday pay and etc. 
 

Threats to the employees is that the runners are not all committed to their job. Runners can come and go as they are not permanently in your business as they could leave.

Agency Contract

An agency contract is when a company(agency) that find you a job. The jobs contract is not on the employee  but the contract is placed on the agency.
 

Their contrat give health and safety also give them shared facility and job vacancy as they are very limited to their rights we do not see agency contract in the media industry as we only see them in non media jobs.
 

The threats to the employees is that they do not get the perks and benefits as the full-time and part-time people get as their limited from the rights.
 

The opportunities that the employer has is that there is always someone there to hire also it is more easier to get rid of people from the agency whenever you want.

Contract Confidentiality

A contract confidentiality is a document that status that you have to keep a secret for the company that you work for this is in order to protect the product.
 

An example that consist with this contract is found in the majority film industry why it is so important is because it is to protect there money  and the user of the film . 

A job roles that does consist of this contact would be actors why because the actor would be most question about the movie. 
 

The threats that the actor could experience due to this contact is peer pressure from other company and also the length of keeping the secret is usually long which may effect the actors from keeping the secret in.
 

A threat for the employers is that information make it leaked which may lead to them losing out on potential money that the film could have made.It is hard to spot out who leaked information about the movie.

Contract Exclusivity

A contract Exclusivity is a physical document that quotes that the employee must agree not to work for any other company with similar aspect to it.
 

Where we could see contract exclusivity in the TV and film industry is mostly amid towards the film industry as the film industry is mostly fixed term contract exclusivity what this means is that you are not allowed to work for any other similar companies.
 

The threats to the employees is that once they have completed the job is that they are not allowed to work for any other company as there are stops from working for any other firm.
 

The threats to the employers is that it makes it harder to recruit new employment as they could have been working for other similar companies, which could lead to leaking information.

Ethical

Code of Practice 

Code of practice is a physical document that States the laws that the government produced for the employer while hiring an employment.

To 2.8-2.9 it states that the company should make adjustment to make the work place fit employees with disability.
 

Do that then please would have is that feel free and safe at work resolve the rights put forward by the government and also would allow them for equal opportunities for a promotion the work.
 

The threats that the employer would have is that they would have to be careful with what they say and what actions they do and the decision to the employment may be seen as sexist, racist and etc. 

Agency Polices and Procedures

Agency policies and procedures is a physical copy by the company the outline the institution

code of ethics.
We can see in the sixth paragraph in the the BBC policy as there do not have a lot to say about the ethics of the industry

The threats from the employees is that they may not have trust in BBC as there have there own ethical policy what this may mean is that the employee may not all agree to all of the policy.
 

The threats that the BBC would have is that the Ethical policy may not be up to standards from the government perspective what this could mean is that the employees may not have full trust over the BBC industry.

Emerging Social concerns and expectation

It is concerned that the society today look up and deal with appointment at work that the

government has updated in the code of practice it couldn't contain is disability gender reassignment,maternity/paternity, disability and sexual orientation.
 

The act 1.27 tell us about the changes in the law about discrimination The opportunities for the employees is that they won't feel alone because the society concern about disability, sexual orientation and maternity leave is seen to be important in the Ethical act.

The employers would have to take into account the emerging social concerns and to have knowledge about the Ethical change that has been put in place by the government code of practice.

Representation 

It consists of the employees social background which includes race religion nationality ethics  and others which is seen the government code of practice and obliged do when hiring someone.

The opportunities that the employees have is there wont feel judged at work from their religion, race and nationality because is states that the social background is seen equal in the workplace.
 

The opportunities for the employers is that it allowed them to bring more people into the workplace from different ethnicity, religion and nationality what this means is that it allows the company to show different representation to the company
