Work Sellers (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the second lesson part of the Employment Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to employment and related topics.

This lesson belongs to the Introduction to Employment session of the CNM Cyber Orientation. The Orientation is the second stage of the WorldOpp Pipeline.


Content

The predecessor lectio is What Employment Is.

Key terms

Work seller. Any individual who is in the business of selling his or her work time to employers. The sellers include employees, employment candidates, and pretty much every seller on the job market.

Script

Employees sell their work or, to be more precise, their work time, but not all work sellers are employees. Three categories of work sellers who are not employees include (a) independent contractors, (b) volunteers, and (c) employment candidates.
Independent contractors provide their customers with their products, usually, services, rather than with their work time. Unlike employees, the contractors deliver what their contract specifies and they don't need to report the customers how the work is done and when the work is done.
The United States Internal Revenue Service, which is better known by its acronym, IRS, distinguishes employees and independent contractors for tax purposes. In the United States, employers pay taxes for the employees, while the self-employed are responsible for their own taxes.
Volunteers work willingly without being forced and being paid. For instance, many CNM volunteers work without any pay because they want to help other people in career transitions.
Employment candidates are those who are in their search for employment. No one pays them for looking for a job; they are their own employers. Similarly to independent contractors, they are self-employed.

Student Workers is the successor lectio.
