Zamstnavatelem

Zaměstnavatelem is the instrumental singular form of the Czech noun zaměstnavatel, meaning “employer.” The term refers to the entity that hires workers, which can be a person or a legal entity such as a company or organization. As a masculine noun, zaměstnavatel is used to denote the actor or party that provides employment in various contexts, including labor-law, contracts, and negotiations.

Morphology and usage notes: The base noun is zaměstnavatel (nominative). Its instrumental singular form is zaměstnavatelem, used after prepositions or verbs that govern the instrumental case, for example se zaměstnavatelem (with the employer) or jednání se zaměstnavatelem (negotiations with the employer). Other cases follow standard Czech declension, and plural forms exist (for example zaměstnavatelé in the nominative). The word can refer to a person who employs others or to a company or organization acting as an employer. A feminine counterpart is zaměstnavatelka, used for a female employer.

Etymology and related terms: The word is built from the verb zaměstnat meaning “to employ,” with the agentive suffix -tel. Related terms include zaměstnanec (employee) and pracovní právo (labor law), which often appear in discussions about the employer–employee relationship.
