As per law, is the company liable for every act of the employees? Last month, we received a legal notice from lawyer stating that the company has to compensate for the damage caused by the employee. On enquiry, we found that it is something which is beyond the scope of employment and is related to personal issues of the employee. We have responded to the letter refusing to entertain such matters as it is not related to his employment. Now he has filed a civil case in the court claiming compensation from the company? Being the employer, are we liable for the same?
