employee

employee
An expression more euphonious than "servant" but ordinarily meaning the same. 35 Am J1st M & S § 2. One who is in such a relation to another person that the latter may control the work of the former and direct the manner in which it shall be done. 35 Am J1st M & S § 2. One is an "employee" for the purposes of Social Security and Unemployment Compensation where in rendering services for another he acts under the control and direction of the latter, not only as to the result to be accomplished, but as to the means and details by which the result is accomplished. United States v Silk, 331 US 704, 91 L Ed 1757, 67 S Ct 1463; Schwing v United States (CA3 Pa) 165 F2d 518, 1 ALR2d 548. Only persons who perform menial services, manual labor, or work which is subordinate in its nature, and immediately subject to the directions and orders of the superior, are within the contemplation of statutes imposing liability upon corporate stockholders for debts of the corporation owing to laborers, servants, "employees", etc. Anno: 104 ALR 765. In other contexts, the term has a broader meaning, for example, in exemption statutes, where, under the rule of liberal construction, persons engaged in positions requiring services far above those of a menial character, such as sales manager, auditor, comptroller, etc., are deemed "employees." 31 Am J2d Exemp § 20. An officer of a corporation may be an "employee" for the purposes of Social Security. 48 Am J1st Soc Sec § 16. See public employee; servant.
