Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lee is the owner of the company and Josh is an employee. As an employer, Lee is responsible for the actions of his employee, Josh. This is known as vicarious liability, which means that the employer is held responsible for the actions of their employees. Therefore, if a customer is unhappy with Josh's work, Lee would be held liable for any damages. Option A is incorrect because Josh is not a partner, he is an employee. Option B is incorrect because the limited liability only applies if the company is structured as a corporation, which is not specified in the scenario. Option C is incorrect because an employee can still be liable for their actions, but in this case, the employer (Lee) would also be liable for Josh's actions. Option E is incorrect because employment does not automatically make an individual a partner in a business.
