Dutch term or phrase: Bediende
I am translating a certificate from English into Spanish, but some of the data are in Dutch (and I don't speak a word of it!). It must be a very simple word, because it's a job.

Any idea?

agree  Margarita Pavón-Mestras: Me quedo yo también con esta como más genérica, la idea es esta, ya según donde trabaje el empleado será dependiente, sirviente, o lo que proceda...

agree  Diego Puls: "Bediende" es la palabra usual y genérica en Flandes para designar a un empleado; en Holanda se la asocia más con "criado", por lo que allí se usa el galicismo "employé" (tabú en Flandes).
