| 单词 | Employer's liability |
| 释义 | 僱主的法律責任 The liability of an employer for acts or omissions of its employees which cause injury or damage to third parties or to fellow employees, and for the failure to protect employees from injury at work. Under the first head, an employer is vicariously liable for the negligence of servants, but not generally independent contractors (Kwan Kin Travel Services Ltd v Wong Mee Wan [1994] 1 HKC 308 (CA)), acting in the course of their employment or while the servants are engaged on their employer’s business: So Wing Kwong v Cheng Chi Kwong & Ors [1999] 4 HKC 831. Under the second head, liability arises through the employer’s non-delegable duty of care towards its employees, which entails a general duty to safeguard employees from unreasonable risk of injury while at work: Employees’ Compensation Ordinance (Cap 282) s 5; Lau Kam Nui v San Kee Co Ltd [1998] 4 HKC 612 (CA). See also Agreement; Employee; Employer; Employer’s duty of care; Independent contractor; Vicarious liability. 僱主須為其僱員導致第三者或其他僱員造成傷害或損害的作為或不作為而承擔的法律責任（項目一）；以及僱主須為其僱員在工作時沒有保護僱員免受傷害而承擔的法律責任（項目二）。在項目一之下，僱主須為其受僱人（而非獨立承辦商）的疏忽而負有轉承法律責任(Kwan Kin Travel Services Ltd v Wong Mee Wan [1994] 1 HKC 308 （上訴法庭）)，但該受僱人必須是在受僱期間內，或正從事僱主的業務時作出該項疏忽：So Wing Kwong v Cheng Chi Kwong & Ors [1999] 4 HKC 831。在項目二之下，僱主對僱員有不得轉授的謹慎責任，因而僱主有一般的責任保障其僱員在工作時免受不合理的傷害危險：《僱員補償條例》（第285章）第5條；Lau Kam Nui v San Kee Co Ltd [1998] 4 HKC 612（上訴法庭）。另見 Agreement; Employee; Employer; Employer’s duty of care; Independent contractor; Vicarious liability。 |
