Hard-working/hard working
Hello,
1. He is a hard-working employee (hyphen OK).
2. This employee is hard working.
Is it okay not to put a hyphen in #2? My teacher says it is because the adjective comes after the noun. I'd just like to double-check.
Thank you.

I agree with what your teacher and Philip have said. As the adjective comes after the noun in #2, no hyphen is necessary.
