zamstnancem

zamstnancem appears to be a non-diacritic rendering of the Czech word zaměstnanec in its instrumental singular form zaměstnancem. The canonical form zaměstnanec means “employee” and is masculine animate. The instrumental singular zaměstnancem is used after certain prepositions or verbs to express “with,” “by,” or “as” an employee, as in phrases like hovořit se zaměstnancem or pracovat jako zaměstnanec. The spelling zamstnancem is not standard in Czech orthography; the diacritic-bearing form zaměstnancem is correct, while non-diacritic renderings such as zamestnancem or related variants may be encountered in ASCII text or informal writing.

Etymology and morphology: the word zaměstnanec is derived from the verb zaměstnat, meaning “to employ,” with the agentive suffix -nanec, forming a noun for a person who performs the action. This pattern is common in Czech for denoting a person associated with an activity or role, analogous to terms like zaměstnání (employment) and zaměstnavatel (employer).

Usage notes: Czech nouns of this type decline by gender and case. The instrumental singular zaměstnancem is used after prepositions like s (with) or in constructions that require the instrumental case. Example sentences: “Jsem zaměstnanec firmy ABC.” (I am an employee of ABC company.) “Se zaměstnancem firmy jsem hovořil.” (I spoke with a company employee.)

See also: zaměstnání (employment), zaměstnavatel (employer), čeština (Czech language). In most formal writing, zaměstnanec and zaměstnancem are preferred over non-diacritic variants.
