let’s talk about the difference between employee employee employee and employment let’s start with employ this is a verb to employed as a verb of course you need to conjugate it with your subject and your time reference now what does this mean you need to understand the sentence structure of how to use this verb and someone or something like a company someone employs someone and when that someone or something like a company employs someone that means that they pay some money in order to do a job that’s what the verb employ mean so let’s look at some of the company employs many students now you might think o as a student they’re just doing the work for free volunteer work or it’s an internship know it can’t if you use the verb employee

there has to be money exchange for work so it isn’t volunteer even though that person is a student if a company employs them it means they’re paying them to do that job another example you could commonly asked how many people does your company employ how many people work at your company and receive money in order to do that work employees is a now you are most likely an employee if you work for someone else whether it’s a company or an individual and that someone pays you money to do the work then you’re an employee you’re not an employee if you own your own business and you work for yourself for example but if you work for someone else or a company of course then you’re a nympho

now as an example you can ask the same question that we ask before using the verb employ but this time you would ask how many employees how many employees does this company have because now we know an employee is someone who works for a company and is paid for it how many employees does this company have or another example the company gave every employee a raise so every person at the company that receives a paycheck they gave them all a raise all their employees got a raise now let’s talk about employer I hear many students even sometimes native speakers confuse employees and employer all you have to remember is employee is the one getting paid and the employer is the one paying the employee okay so empty

that’s like the boss it’s the company employee is the one working at that company and getting paid so you can think of it as an employer is a company or an a person that employed people now that you know what the employee means for example let’s say you’re going to a job interview and they say to you is HR says to you a reference from your last employer your last employer so the last person or company that employed you notice how all these words are coming together or another example and this could be a great example sentence that you leave in the comments below so just think of it I could say the government is the largest employer in my city and this is true because I live in the capital and in the capital that’s where all the official government business

play it through the government is the biggest employer in my city the government employs the most people do all the employee use their employees of the government see how it’s all coming together now employment employment you can think of this more as a concept it’s a noun and it’s the concept of paying someone for work but as a concept we talk about it more in terms of employment rate employment level so you’ll see employment used in a lot of statistics for example they might say right now employment levels are at an all-time low so employment levels that’s simply the number of people employed now also they talk
