 The employee has a claim that the employer pays her her wages, which means that the employer has a duty to the employee to pay those wages. As seen in the definition and the example, every claim-right correlates to a duty in (at least) one duty-bearer. What is distinctive about the claim-right is that a duty-bearer’s duty is “directed at” or “owed to” the right-holder. What explains the “direction” of directed duties has been the subject of controversy, discussed in section 2.2.3.
