Employer-Employee Relations

Employer-employee relations have not been accorded by our laws with a constricted definition of what are the literal acts which would bring about this form of relationship. What then is the importance of determining the existence of employer-employee relations? The basic and paramount significance of knowing whether the contract for services entered into between two parties have given rise to an employer-employee relations is to determine the applicable laws, rules and regulations which would govern the affiliation of both the employer and the employee.

A person rendering service under the employ of another person is regarded as an employee if the means and methods as to how the services will be rendered or how the job is to be performed is controlled or dominated by the employer or the person to whom the services are being rendered for. In this case despite of how the parties denominate their agreement, there already exist employer-employee relations.  Here we can see that what is being considered in order to determine the presence of an employer-employee relations is not how the parties regard and denominate their relationship but based on the real and actual nature of work of the employee. This would be the real criteria and not how the parties regard the relationship.
