Could it be someone who was ‘indentured’, they tend to be called ‘indentured servants’?

I have a document from 1796 in York which calls a man being admitted as a Freeman of York, a Servant.
From earlier discussions, a modern alternative to Servant might be Employee.
Might it also have applied to someone who was an Apprentice, of just finishing his apprenticeship?
