Employment

Employment (/ɪmˈplɔɪmənt/) is a relationship between two parties, usually based on a contract where work is paid for, where one party, which may be a corporation, for profit, not-for-profit organization, co-operative or other entity is the employer and the other is the employee.[1]

Etymology

The term employment is derived from the Old French word empleier, which means to involve or entangle; hence the idea that the employee is engaged in, or involved in, his work.
