A reified employment relationship between an agent and an organization, optionally founded on an employment contract and bearing a role, compensation, and employment type over a period. A specialization of gmeow:Membership: the employment-specific facets (compensation, seniority, employment type) are added here; the structural spine (member, organization, role, period) is inherited.

# Worked example: employment specializes membership. A gmeow:Employment is
# a gmeow:Membership (the person is a member of the employer), refined with the
# facets a job adds: an open gmeow:employmentType (full-time / contract / intern /
# volunteer …), a gmeow:employmentSeniority, the gmeow:employmentOccupation it
# realizes, and its gmeow:employmentInterval. The seat-vs-sitter discipline from
# the organization slice still holds — this is the SITTER's tenure, distinct from
# any Post it may fill.
