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.

A. In Gross, the Court held that a plaintiff bringing a claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) must show by a preponderance of the evidence that age was the but for cause of the employer s adverse employment decision. An employer does not have to prove that it would have made the same decision regardless of age, even if the employee produces some evidence that age may have been a contributing factor in the decision. Thus, the Court decided, the burden-shifting framework in mixed motive Title VII cases does not apply to age discrimination claims under the ADEA. Although a positive ruling for employers, Miller criticized this decision in a press release, stating: The Supreme Court s ruling will make it even more… [cont.]

Should we get some cats for our workplace?
Q. I've heard that cats are psychologically beneficial to employees in the workplace, and that their presence actually lowers blood pressure.
Asked by JD - Sun May 20 23:48:23 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. in this town there are a few places of business that have a cat or two running the show, and sitting in the window in front. they greet the people who come in. i think it is a good thing, they seem well cared for and not neglected. it is important that you don't allow them to be neglected or abused by employees or customers. i think anyone who keeps a cat must have some integrity and i tend to do business with them more...for instance there is a garage in a town not far from here that i needed to fix my wife's car when the transmission went out there, i discovered that he feeds and keeps cats there and i have used his services several times since, because of the cats, the owner just has a kind heart and probably won't rip us off.
