Yes, a shareholder can be an employee of a corporation.

If you do use another name with Corporation or incorporated or

an abbreviation, then you are in essence creating a

different legal entity that should be incorporated and

have a different FEIN number. Your present corporation

can operate under different fictitious names without

incorporating as a separate business. However, you should

register the fictitious name with the Secretary of

State. The fictitious name cannot include the words

corporation or incorporation.
