Description

Definition
The employment status is divided into four major categories.

Employee
An employee is a person who works for salary, wages, commissions, piece rate or profit. The payment can be made either monthly, weekly or daily or for work performed. Work could be on the basis of permanent, temporary or casual. The payment need not be in cash; it could be in kind or other profits and benefits.

Employees are further subdivided into government, semi-government and private sector employees depending on the sector of employment.

Employer
A person who works in his/her own enterprise, independent profession, trade or who operates his/her own family enterprise engaging one or more paid employees on a regular basis is defined as an employer.

Own account worker
A person, who is working in his/her own business or practicing a profession or working in family enterprise without engaging paid employees on a regular basis, would be identified as an own account worker.

Unpaid family worker (Contributing to family enterprises)
A person who is assisting the family economic activity without any payment is identified as an unpaid family worker.
