Which term describes people who work for another company?

• A. Employees
• B. Employers
• C. Contractors
• D. Partners

Answer: (A)

People who work for another company are employees. An employee is someone hired by a company, paid through its payroll, and supervised under its policies and routines. They perform tasks as part of the organization’s workforce and typically receive wages or a salary and benefits. The other terms describe different relationships: employers are the organizations that hire workers; contractors are service providers who work under a contract and are often not on payroll; and partners are co-owners of a business rather than employees.
