employes

Employes is generally regarded as a misspelling of employees in English. The standard plural for a person who works for another is employees. The word appears in some non-English contexts or as a proper noun, but it is not the conventional term in English.

An employee is a person hired by an organization to perform work under an employment contract in exchange for compensation. Employees are typically subject to the employer's direction, receive a wage or salary, and are eligible for statutory protections such as minimum wage, safe working conditions, and anti-discrimination laws. They differ from independent contractors who provide services under a contract for services rather than employment, and from volunteers who offer time without compensation.

Employment relationships are governed by laws and company policies. Terms are often documented in an employment contract or offer letter, covering duties, schedule, compensation, benefits, leave, and termination. Employers retain authority to direct and supervise work, while employees owe duties of performance, loyalty, and compliance with workplace rules.

Common employment arrangements include full-time, part-time, temporary, fixed-term, and internship positions. Compensation may be hourly, salaried, or on a piece-rate basis, with opportunities for overtime, bonuses, and benefits depending on jurisdiction and employer policy.

Notes: The correct English term is employees. The form employes is not standard in English but may appear in non-English contexts or as a misprint. For French-derived terms, the corresponding forms are employé (singular) and employés (plural).
