Employment refers to the formal agreement between an employer and an individual, where the employee provides services in exchange for compensation. In industries like manufacturing, retail, logistics, and facility management, employment structures vary, including full-time, contract, gig, apprenticeship, and consultant roles.

For businesses managing an external workforce, employment involves recruitment, onboarding, payroll processing, compliance with labor laws, and benefits administration. Companies use HRMS platforms and workforce management solutions to streamline attendance tracking, shift scheduling, and performance management, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and workforce stability.
