Fact Pattern 5-2
Billy owns a used car lot. Samantha works for Billy selling used cars. Billy fully directs and controls her work, sets her hours, and pays her an hourly salary as well as a commission. Belinda comes to the lot to buy a used car. Samantha, however, tells Belinda that she needs to sell her mother's used vehicle and that if Belinda will meet her after hours, she will give Belinda an excellent deal. Belinda meets Samantha after work and ends up buying the car belonging to Samantha's mother. The next day, Samantha, acting within the scope of her employment, is moving a car. She, however, is in a hurry and in a grossly negligently manner backs it over the foot of Wesley, another customer. While waiting for the ambulance to come for Wesley, Belinda storms onto the lot complaining about the condition of the vehicle she purchased from Samantha's mother. Billy fires Samantha on the spot based on her obviously intoxicated condition and the fact that she arranged for the sale of her mother's vehicle. Samantha informs him that she has been an excellent employee and that he has no reason to be unhappy with her.
