Employment binds two parties in a contract. The two parties are- the employer
and the employee. An employer is an individual or an institution that hires
employees or gives jobs to employees. The employer manages a productive activity
for creating profits. The employees chip in with their labor, generally in return
for payment of wages. Employment exists in any commercial setting
and in the public, nonprofit and household sectors.
In capitalist societies, employment is a very common phenomenon. The opponents
of capitalism, especially the Marxists oppose this system. Because, the employees
contribute the most to the enterprise but they do not get a proportionate share
of the profit. In the US, both the employer and the employee are free to terminate
the job contract any time for any reason or for no reason
at all.
An employer may be an individuals or an organization. The big organizations
provide jobs to many employees. Governments are the largest single employers
in most of the Western countries. However, the small and medium business houses
in the private sector provide the maximum employment opportunities.
The rapid advancement in communication technologies has brought many changes
to the entire employment scenario. There are many job
opportunities today that cross the traditional barriers of space and time.
There is no need of a particular place for the employer and the employee to
meet. The employees can work at the comfort of home and contribute their share
to the organization.
Home based employment gives the opportunity to earn by utilising personal experiences.
You may have already gained those experiences by being a consumer. The home
based jobs allow you to put your experiences into some productive activity.
Working from home economises time and effort. It leaves you with more free
time and the freedom to pursue other hobbies and interests. A home based employment
opportunity means freedom from the pain of making compromises. A big advantage
of such jobs is that you can decide your own working hours. It enables you have
a better control over your life.
