white-collar worker OR: office-worker Explanation: While a cleaning lady or a messenger may be "employees," they are not "pracownicy umyslowi," so I think it would be misleading (certainly in a sworn type of translation) to label them so on their birth certificates. employee = a person employed for wages or salary, esp. at non-executive level; wages = a fixed regular payment, usu. daily or weekly, made by an employer to an employee, esp. to a manual or unskilled worker; salary = a fixed regular payment, usu. monthly or quarterly, made by an employer to an employee, esp. a professional or white-collar worker; OFFICE-WORKER = an employee in a business office WHITE-COLLAR WORKER = a worker engaged in clerical or administrative rather than manual work Jacek The Oxford Encyclopedic English Dictionary |
