Can an investor be an employee?

could an investor be consider an employee

Why not?

If your boss is looking for investors, and you think it's a good investment, there's nothing stopping you from doing so. Be careful, and ask an accountant to review the business plan before you invest. You have the right to do that. Don't just do it because you think the owner is "smart" or good at what he does.

An employee will be paid for work. An investor getting money is considered capital distribution. An employee also is usually supposed to be working for the company and contributing somehow.

So, you cannot claim to be an employee by being an investor in the company.

However, an employee can be an investor and vice versa. The employee works for the company and has invested in the company. There are lots of companies that encourage this activity. Wal-Mart really encourages it. You get paid both as an employee and as an investor (if the investors get paid that is).

Yes if he is hired and works for the company. You can buy stock in Verizon and you are an investor. If you also work as a telephone operator at Verizon, you are an employee.

No - there is no Employment Contract. An Investor is an Owner.

yes

In my company, yes...I work from home with a company that manufactures products that we鈥檙e already buying elsewhere, but they are better, safer & healthier. We just help set up customer accounts and the company pays us to do so. We set our own hours and work as little or as long as we want. It is a wonderful opportunity and has really benefited our family. The best part is, there is no financial risk involved. You are welcome to email me for more information.
