What are the basic terms used to describe the labor relationship?
Employment is the act of engaging in work, the consumption of a person's time and energy to the task at hand in an occupation, profession, trade or business.
An employer is a person or entity (such as a partnership or corporation) which obtains the services of another to perform work. The employer provides the means through which the services will be performed (such as providing a place where the work is to be performed and the tools required to get the work done). The employer has direct control over the manner in which the work is to be performed.
An employee is a person in the service of another. The employment contract can be written, oral or implied. The employee's activities while performing work are subject to the control of the employer.
