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 are the employment protection agencies are there in the Washington state?
Q. What are the employment protection agencies are there in the Washington state? I have a family member who gets abused by her boss, who fabricates false information to her boss in order to fire her. I know that there are government agencies that protect employees from this kind of abuse by meeting and talking with them and consult on how to deal with these kind of issues. I cannot find them anywhere though. Can you help me, please? Thank you in advance.

A. It depends on your field of work. For example my friend is a lawyer and he was hired through recruiters and video conferencing by one of the top tier firms. It really just depends on the position that you are applying for. It's rare to be hired without a face to face interview. You would not be able to arrange a flat to rent if you are not in Sydney. Most real estate agents will not rent you a flat sight unseen, plus you need to sign documents and show evidence from your employer as to wages etc. Unless you put an ad on and see what you come up with - most flatmates would want to meet you first. The best thing to do would be to send your CV to recruiters - look on and arrange interviews for when you arrive. Arrange to stay in a… [cont.]
