Employer’s Liability:
Employers can find themselves liable for the negligence of their employees and for their own negligence in hiring, retaining & supervising their employees.
Respondeat Superior (let the master respond)
Why go after anEmployer? Is theEmployee releasedfrom liability forher/his actions?
Justification?
![Page 9: Chapter 14--Agency Actual v. Apparent Actual v. Apparent Express v. Implied Express v. Implied Employees/Independent Contractors Agent’s Authority.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051315/56649e695503460f94b66743/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Employee orIndependent Contractor?
Employee: The employer has a greater “control” over the person, pays payroll taxes, offers insurance benefits, & instructs on how to undertake the assignment with a greater degree of participation.
Independent Contractor: The employer has less “control” over the person, unlikely that payroll taxes are taken out, has less involvement/participation in the completion of a job.
Respondeat Superior applies to Employer/Employees and not independent contractors

Respondeat Superior applies if:
1) The employee was subject to the employer’s supervision.
2) The employee was motivated (at least in part) by a desire to serve the employer’s interests.
3) The problem arose substantially within normal working hours and in a work location.
4) The act in question was of the general type the employee was hired to perform.

JUDGE JUDY READY TO RULE----
Case: Carroll Air Systems v. Greenbaum--- Employer sued after deathcaused by drunk driving of employee going home from a convention.Employer argued no “vicarious liability”….. Plaintiff disagrees…...
Now its time to pay the piper. You play…you pay
Employee w/n scope ofemployment therefore
employer is liable
