job

Employment is a relationship between two parties regulating the provision of paid labour services. Usually based on a contract, one party, the employer, which might be a corporation, a not-for-profit organization, a co-operative, or any other entity, pays the other, the employee, in return for carrying out assigned work. Employees work in return for wages, which can be paid on the basis of an hourly rate, by piecework or an annual salary, depending on the type of work an employee does, the prevailing conditions of the sector and the bargaining power between the parties. Employees in some sectors may receive gratuities, bonus payments or stock options. In some types of employment, employees may receive benefits in addition to payment. Benefits may include health insurance, housing, disability insurance. Employment is typically governed by employment laws, organisation or legal contracts.

    Will this job look ok once grouted or do I need to ask for it to be redone?

    In the middle of getting my bathroom done and took a closer look today. The sloped ceiling cuts are not even, and then all of the corner cuts are also uneven. We are planning a grey grout so I am concerned it will look a mess once done. Do you think it will look ok, or should I get it redone?
