Explanation
An employer is a person or company that hires people to work for them. Employers give jobs, pay salaries, and expect employees to complete tasks. For example, a school is the employer of its teachers. Employers are responsible for creating safe workplaces and following labour laws. In business, the employer–employee relationship is very important because both sides depend on each other. An employer provides opportunities, while employees provide skills and work.
