Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Raytheon could be held responsible if they knew about the supervisor's prior misconduct and failed to take appropriate action to prevent it from reoccurring. While intentional acts that occur outside the scope of employment or involve the misuse of company tools are typically not the employer's responsibility, in this case, the supervisor was acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the incident. Therefore, Raytheon may face liability for the supervisor's actions. However, this would depend on the specific circumstances of the case, and additional information may be needed to determine Raytheon's liability. Choice A and C are incorrect as they are too broad and do not consider the specific circumstances of the case. Choice D is incorrect as there is a potential for liability in this case.
