Scope of Employment

Activities of an employee that are in furtherance of duties that are owed to an employer and where the employer is, or could be, exercising some control, directly or indirectly, over the activities of the employee.

Under the doctrine of Respondeat Superior, a principal is liable for the torts, civil wrongs, of an agent committed within the ambit of the agent's occupation.

The scope of employment includes all acts reasonably necessary or incident to the performance of work, including matters of personal convenience and comfort that do not conflict with specific instructions.

scope of employment

n. actions of an employee which further the business of the employer and are not personal business, which becomes the test as to whether an employer is liable for damages due to such actions under the doctrine of Respondeat Superior (make the master answer). Example: Dick Deliver drives a truck delivering groceries for Super-Duper Market. If Dick negligently runs the truck into Victor Victim's VW while making deliveries or on the way back from a delivery, then Super-Duper is liable since the accident was in the scope of employment. If Dick goes outside the delivery route to have lunch with his girlfriend and on the way back to his route hits Victim then there is a strong inference he was outside the scope of employment. (See: respondeat superior, master and servant)

scope of employment

The actions taken by an employee in furtherance of the employer's business objectives or the employee's job description. Wrongful conduct within the scope of employment will subject the employer to liability, even if it had no knowledge of the wrong and had specific rules prohibiting such behavior.

Example: A receptionist who places minority callers on “hold” for long periods of time before transferring them to an apartment leasing agent, but who transfers white callers immediately, is engaging in discriminatory behavior that is within the scope of his or her employment as a recep- tionist. Answering calls and making decisions to transfer those calls is within the scope of employment. How people make decisions within the scope of their employment can result in lia- bility to the employer. If, in this example, the receptionist shot and killed a minority applicant entering the reception area, that would not be within the scope of employment for a receptionist, although it might be for a security guard.
