employer-employee relationship
Boss-worker connection
The employer-employee relationship is the formal arrangement between a person or organization that pays for work and the person who performs it.
This relationship involves an exchange of labor for compensation, typically governed by contracts, labor laws, and workplace policies.
It differs from independent contractor arrangements in that the employer controls how, when, and where work is performed: The IRS examines several factors to determine whether an employer-employee relationship exists.
- salaryFixed periodic employment payment
- labor lawRules governing work conditions
- wagesPayment for work
- bonusesAdded compensation beyond wages
