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.

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!
