Question

Desi starts up eSites, an Internet service, and leases office space in a building owned by Fred. The lease requires Desi to pay Fred a base rental of $1,250, plus 10 percent of eSites' profits, each month. The term is two years. Desi hires Gwen to work at eSites' tech support desk at an hourly wage of $12.50, plus a commission of 10 percent of the profits. The term is also two years.

Desi and Gwen are __________.

Answer 1

employer and employee

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Desi and Gwen are not partners, because Gwen does not have an ownership interest or management rights in eSites. Gwen is just an employee that has been hired by Desi which is the official owner of eSites since she is the one that started the company. Therefore Desi and Gwen are employer and employee
