No.
An "employee" can be anyone who works for an employer and who receives wages for payment for their work. A "contract worker" can be, but not necessarily is, someone who's duties are set out in an agreement between them and the employer that calls for that individual to perform certain duties or obtain certain results that were set out in that contract. There is no real legal definition of an "employee" and indeed the contract worker can be considered an "employee" of the company that hires them UNLESS they are Independent Contractors who actually work for themselves and hire themselves out to companies for certain duties.
Yes, It is a legal obligation of the employer.
yes it is, but that employer isn't REALLY an employer. I would say that giving you a contract is neither a good or bad thing
Yes.
An employer can ask an employee if they are retiring as long as it is not done in a way that does not discriminate. It is not legal for an employer to tell an employee to resign because of his age. Also, an employee does not have to answer if his boss asks if he is retiring.
The specifics depend on which country you are talking about, but basically the employer is responsible for providing a safety and healthful workplace and the employee is responsible for working safely and participating actively in the safety process. How the law applies specifically to employer and employee is different in different countries.
I am not a lawyer, but I can't see this being legal anywhere.I can see it being perfectly legal for the employer to fire the employee that made them pay some other employee overtime, though.
I don't believe there is anything illegal about asking that question. I don't believe it is in good taste, but the employer does have to make plans for maternity leave. And if you are not married, and your contract has a morals clause, there could be grounds for dismissal.
how do you reducing employee risks?
yes
