A person is considered employed if there is a definite arrangement for regular full-time or part-time work for pay every week or every month. A formal, definite arrangement with one or more employers to work a specified number of hours a week, or days a month, but on an irregular schedule during the work month is also considered employment. A person who is on call to work whenever there is a need for his (her) services is not considered employed. ( Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey )

A term used to depict a customer is working for a company (other than their own company). Length of time and number of hours worked are not factors that determine if a customer is employed. If a customer states he or she is President or CEO for their employer it is important to note whether the customer has an ownership interest in the business. If customers have at least 50% ownership in a company, they are considered self-employed.
