empleo = workplace

Study up on the difference between ir/venir and llevar/traer. The point of reference is different in Spanish, so you'll trip up if you don't pay attention.

For instance, the Spanish translation of "I'm coming" (when you're called) is "voy."

¿Lugar de trabajo? That should be right. Where I live we just say Emplejo. My bad!
Now I understand, and like Rusty said is empleo

Tomo un empleo = I take/get employment

Voy al/a mi empleo = I am going to my workplace/employ
