Vicarious liability is a doctrine of law under which one person is liable for the wrongdoings of another. In the workplace, this means an employer may be found liable for an employee's unlawful actions, provided the wrongdoing was carried out in the course of employment. In South Africa, employers are held vicariously liable for the acts of their employees if it can be proved that said acts occurred within the course and scope of employment. To elaborate on how this works and is applied we’re joined by Galeboe Modisapodi, Employment Relations & Employee Benefits Consultant, Accredited Commercial Mediator who’s Partnered with Molatudi Advisory Services (MAS). Galeboe explains to what degree organisations can be held legally accountable for the acts and omissions of their staff.
