Number of Employees shows the total number of permanent full time and part time employees working for a given company and processed through its payroll. Employee typically refers to an individual working under a contract of employment, whether oral or written, express or implied, and has recognized his or her rights and duties. Most officers of corporations are included as employees and contractors are generally excluded.
