“Human Resources” means people, plus the skills and experience they bring to an organization. Job titles such as “Accounts Manager” or “Personal Assistant” define what people do.
An employer is a person or company that provides job. Boss is an informal word meaning “someone in authority”, for example an employer or owner of a company, or simply someone in a superior position.
The person who runs a specific part of an organization is called a manager. An executive or, informally, an exec is usually a manager at quite a high level. People at the head of an organization, as it was already mentioned, are senior executives, top executives or top managers. Someone who is in charge of making sure a job is well done e.g. on the factory floor, or in retailing, is sometimes called a supervisor.
People working for a company are referred to as its workforce, employees, staff or personnel and are on its payroll.
Payroll is the list of all the people employed by a company, and the amount of money paid to each of them. The payroll is usually divided into monthly-paid staff, weekly-paid staff and hourly-paid staff.
Professionals or people who perform various office jobs are white-collar workers, while manual workers in factories, on building sites, etc. are called blue-collar workers. Someone who works with you in your job is a colleague (sometimes called a co-worker).
