Separately the version of this social phenomenon – the master’s power of the employer is called. Three aspects of expression of the master's power of the employer are allocated: the employer has the standard power, being expressed that the worker is obliged to submit to employment policies and procedures and other local regulations; the employer possesses the administrative power, being that the worker is obliged to submit to orders and instructions of the employer if the rights of the worker thus are not violated; the employer possesses the disciplinary power that finds reflection in a duty of the worker for a disciplinary offense and (or) the material offense which is expressing in a property tort of the employer or other persons of a measure of responsibility, which are established by the law, with observance of the procedures are provided by the law.
