Description

What is the nature of an employer-employee relationship, and the employer's responsibility for protecting the employee from harm? Who is liable if an employee develops carpal tunnel syndrome, or an employee's computer is infected with a virus from the company's network? And might an employer be viewed as a benefactor of an employee?
