An employee is someone who, in exchange for remuneration, performs work under the supervision of another entity, whether that entity is a natural or legal person, private or public. This entity has the right to give them instructions and guidelines, as well as the power to supervise their work and take disciplinary action if they fail to meet their commitments. An executive is also an employee of the company. The distinction lies in the fact that executives generally have specialist training in fields such as law, administration, commerce or finance. They may have a higher education qualification or significant professional experience. Unlike ordinary employees, executives have decision-making and supervisory responsibilities, as well as authority over other team members.
