1. Employee relationship:

Employee relationship is nothing but which describes the relationship between the employee and the employer for whom the employee will work and in return get the salary paid by the employer. Employee relationship defines the rights and obligations of the employer and employee. It is through employee relationship, that the employee can access the rights and benefits of his employment available to him.

There are many changes occurring in the labor market creating new relationships. But they don’t come under the preview of employee relationship.

There are various factors which determine the existence of relationship between the employer and the employee. Though these factors vary depending on the organization. There are some common factors:

• The level in which the employee is subordinated to the employer.
• Working for the benefit of another person.
• Working under the instructions of the employer.

The parties who are involved in the employment relationship are the employer and the employee or the worker.

Hence for determining the existence of employment relationship but is necessary to consider the “principle of primary fact”. This clearly states that the existence of employment relationship depends on what the parties have promised and agreed to perform and not on the scenario as how both the parties define the relationship.

1. laws and benefits:

laws are the general rules and regulations that exist in all the countries in the world. Though they may not be the same, it is the general rules and regulations which are applicable to each and every individual in the society and are forced to act accordingly.

They provide safety to the people and ensured that the rights of the people are protected against other person, or organization or by the government. All these laws exist at local, state and country level.

There are different types of law a country can have like labor laws, consumer protection laws, right to information law, criminal law etc.

The law is important because:

• it serves as a norm as to how the cit8izens of a country should act and behave.
• To provide guidelines on how the citizens should behave.
• To ensure that everyone is treated equally.
• To make sure that there are no conflicts or chaos between any particular community or social groups.
• It makes us flexible to behave according to the changes in the society.

Thus, laws are enforced everywhere to ensure uniformity prevails in the society. Thus it shapes politics and economics and acts as a mediator between the government and people of the country. Law can also ensure that people who commit flaws are punished in order to protect the innocent people.

1. Equal employment:

Equal Employment Opportunity laws protects the employees in the work place from certain types of discriminations. There are two agencies which deal with the equal employment opportunity being enforced. They are:

• Civil rights center: this is responsible for overseeing the equal employment opportunity programs being enforced and also ensures that there is equal employment opportunity for all the job applicants.
• The office of the federal contract compliance: this is responsible for employers who are having federal contracts and sub contracts.

             The equal employment opportunity commission(EEOC) is an independent federal agency which is responsible for enforcing equal employment for everyone through guidance of laws, education and also technical assistance.

             The people who come under the preview of EEOC are employees, state and local government, educational institutions, employment agencies and labor organizations.

             Hence the existence of equal employment ensures that all people get jobs and are not discriminated by the employers based on their color, age, religion, caste, creed, racism etc. it ensures that who are capable of doing the work matching their educational and technical skill set get assured jobs and also ensures that employers don’t engage in jobs that are prohibited by law.
