10 Answers
Here's a scenario wonder what you think...my shift at work is coming to an end and my boss phones me, cause he works in an office in another town, to say my relief will be 2 hours late. I tell him I have to go because I have a hospital appointment which I must attend on time or will forfeit the appointment. He insists I stay regardless, citing the terms of my contract adding that if I leave work before being relieved I will face disciplinary proceedings. Do you think its me or my boss who has the stronger case?
Thanks

Don't see what this has to do with human rights
Sounds like a matter of whether or not your contract states this and whether that contract is "reasonable"

Which particular human right do you think is being compromised.

Yes, jake is quite right.
This is a civil matter of employment law and is to do with your Contract of Employment. That states what is required of you and what is required of your employer. If the particular situation is not specifically covered in your contract it will probably be covered by general employment legislation. It has nothing to do with Human Rights.
In general, Human Rights legislation covers actions taken by the State (or agencies of the State) and was originally designed to prevent excessive oppression by the authorities. Because it is deliberately vague its use has been extended and often covers scenarios which a reasonable and sane person would not normally view as an infringment of "Human Rights". However, even with the widest interpretation I cannot see it being applicable in the circumstances you describe.
