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.

What can potential employers find out on employment history and credit report?
Q. I just got offered a position but it is contingent upon employment history check and a credit report. I quit the last job I had without much of a notice because of personal family issues and I was no longer able to work and I told my boss that. Will this hurt my chances of officially getting this new job? What all do they need ask on employment history and credit reports?? I'm a little nervous I might not get this job... Thanks!

A. Having been out of the business world for 15 years, many things may have changed. The most important factor was the experience the person was bringing to the job, and the resume which could be checked.In a few instances we hired and trained for particular jobs due to their specialization. We never looked for a credit report. That was personal and no business of the company. Where cash sales were concerned, we instituted a double check for sales and cash balancing and the manager was responsible for accuracy. He was also responsible for the deposits.

How to statistically prove or disprove pattern of employment discrimination?
Q. Suppose a US company employs 100 people, of whom 20 are officers, and the company is located in a major US city with a large racial minority population. Suppose only 1 of the 20 officers is a racial minority. How would the EEOC statistically prove a pattern of employment discrimination? How would the company statistically disprove it? Is there a good online citation for statistical calculations in employment discrimination?
Asked by fcas80 - Fri May 2 10:47:12 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It seems you would have to first prove, statistically speaking, that qualified minorities were not considered for officer positions. If the position required a business degree or some other such speciality and only 1 out of 20 minority applicants for the job had a business degree, that complicates the figures somewhat. Of course it could be argued that the employer was writing the job requirements in order to exclude certain minorities, too. Tough question
