KNOW YOUR RIGHTS AS AN EMPLOYEE(MORE)
1) An employer owes his employee a duty of care to provide a safe working environment, safe working equipment and safe system of working.
2) Any employer who breaches this duty is liable to the employee for any injury suffered as a result of the breach.
3) The employer may, however, not be liable where the injury was as a result of the employee’s own negligence or disregard for instructions.
4) An employer is vicariously liable for the wrongful acts of his employee.
5) The wrongful act must have occurred in the normal course of the employment.
6) The casual agent of another will be liable just like his employee.
7) The employer will be liable for the wrongful act of the servant, even if he was sacked later.
8) The victim is entitled to sue both master and employee jointly or separately for damages.
9) Independent contractors may not be deemed to be servants unless the wrongful act was expressly ordered by the employer.
10) There’s no vicarious liability in crime.
