Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The court will not consider whether Brad indicated that he was acting on behalf of Custodial because an employee's statements or beliefs do not determine the scope of employment. Rather, the court will consider factors such as whether the act was authorized by the employer, whether it was carried out during work hours, and whether it was within the general scope of the employee's job duties.
