Employment is a contract between two parties, one being the employer and the other being the employee. An employee may be defined as: "A person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written, where the employer has the power or right to control and direct the employee in the material details of how the work is to be performed." Black's Law Dictionary page 471 (5th ed. 1979).

In a commercial setting, the employer conceives of a productive activity, generally with the intention of generating a profit, and the employee contributes labour to the enterprise, usually in return for payment of wages. Employment also exists in the public, non-profit and household sectors. To the extent that employment or the economic equivalent is not universal, unemployment exists.

Can an employment tribunal claim be informally settled despite receiving a hearing date?
Q. I received a letter from my solicitor regarding my full hearing date for my employment tribunal claim (it's in 4 months' time). I can't get hold of him for some reason, and am in a bit of a state. I would like to know whether the claim could still be settled informally before the hearing date, and whether there can be more than one meeting with the conciliator/mediator?

Employment Insurance: Not able to produce a detailed list of places I applied to?
Q. What are the consequences for not being able to produce a detailed job search history for employment insurance? I was looking for work but I didn't keep a list of who I applied to. I just received a questionnaire asking if I was available for work and for proof. Most of my search was through social networking (in the business sense) and I couldn't provide dates and times if I wanted to.

A. Depends on the insurance company. Ask them what proof they will need to substantiate the job searchs. Not really sure what Employment Insurance is but with all other types of insurance, the policy is taken on the grounds of Utmost good faith - in other words, they believe what you say unless given a reason to believe otherwise.

How do I find a reputable employment agency?
Q. Lets say I have a half dozen local employment agencies. Is there any way to determine which of those is most reputable to work with if all I have to go on is their webpage? I only want to apply to one or two of them (for reasons discussed in the other thread on references). And are local private agencies better than the big national ones? I'm considering: Select Staffing, Westaff, Helping Hands, Office Team, Aerotek.
Asked by RonRon - Thu Feb 11 17:38:40 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. There are 2 parts to this answer. First, many staffing agencies specialize in specific sectors. You should make sure you are working with someone who specializes in your area. Second as to whether they are good, you will have to do your research. The bigger agencies often have more openings but you are less likely to get the one-on-one time. That choice is up to you. As far as finding the best staffing services there are a number of online articles and local recommendation sites that you can look at to do some research. Of course you can always ask around as well!

  • One of the best maxims in determining our course in life is, to select, at the outset, that in which virtue and principle will be least likely to be put to a test, and in which, from the nature of the calling, a man may bring around him such associations and influences as will be an auxiliary in keeping him in the path of virtue.
