Explanation
An employee is a person who works for a company, business, or organisation. Employees are hired and paid by employers to do certain tasks or jobs. For example, a cashier is an employee of a supermarket. Employees can work in many roles: teachers, doctors, office workers, or drivers. Employees follow company rules, but they also expect fair pay and good treatment. The word shows the worker side of a work relationship, while “employer” is the boss.
