I'm not sure what you meant by "here". However, the units for zero order reactions are (mol/L^-1 x (time unit)), for first order reactions is (time unit)^-1, and for second order reactions is (L x mol^-1 x (time unit)^-1).

Be careful. The units for a rate is always M/s. However, the units for the rate constant, k, will vary depending on the order.
