Not sure what Vicarious Liability is or why it's important (or should be important to you)?

Under New Zealand law, an employer’s vicarious liability to its employees can include:

• The contracts or undertakings that an employee makes on the employer’s behalf;
• Reimbursement for any actual or reasonable expenses that the employee incurs in the course of the employer’s business, provided they have the employer’s authority;
• Actions the employee carries out under the employer’s express or implied instructions;
  • Where an employer is charged under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 for a breach of health and safety standards by its employee and the employer did not ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable the safety of its workers and other persons; and
• Where any person (such as a customer, supplier, student on work experience, an intern or a prospective employee) has been discriminated against by an employee of the employer, during the course of their employment. In this instance, the human rights jurisdiction is available. 

Still confused?  Maybe these examples will help ....

If you're in a restaurant and the person serving you spills a flambé on your lap.  Not only is it going to hurt like hell but the restaurant is liable for the servers actions (this means the restaurant is accountable for losses even though they weren't negligent in the The restaurant is the principal in control of the server (the agent) and is responsible for their actions while on the job, even if the restaurant itself did nothing negligent.

Vicarious liability also applies to cars ..... so if you give permission to your child or to a friend to use your car, you can be held responsible for accidents they cause while using your car.  Same principle applies to Company Vehicles, if you, as an Employer give permission for an Employee to drive the company car, you, as the Employer are responsible for accidents they cause while using your car (if the 'loss' occurred outside business hours we muddy the waters a bit with invalidation clauses but that's another discussion!)
