lemployer

Lemployer is not a standard English term; in French, the equivalent is l'employeur, meaning the person or organization that hires employees. The form lemployer, without the apostrophe, is typically the result of a typographical error or a stylized brand name and is not considered standard French. The definite article l' elides the preceding vowel.

Definition: The employer is the person or organization that enters into an employment relationship by hiring workers and offering a job under a contract of employment. This entity is distinct from the employee, who performs work under the terms set by the employer.

Roles and duties: The employer must provide wages, ensure safe working conditions, and comply with applicable labor laws, including minimum wage, working hours, recordkeeping, and social security contributions. They are responsible for defining job duties, supervising work, assigning tasks, and managing disciplinary measures within legal limits. They may also provide benefits, training, and access to collective bargaining agreements where applicable.

Legal context: In many jurisdictions, the term denotes the party responsible for the employee's terms of employment; liabilities can arise from breaches of contract, unsafe conditions, or unlawful dismissal. The employer's obligations coexist with employee rights and may be specified in contracts, company policies, or collective agreements.
