going-and-coming rule

Read a random definition: legal defense

A quick definition of going-and-coming rule:

The going-and-coming rule is a principle that says if an employee does something wrong while traveling to or from work, it is usually not the employer's responsibility. This means that if an employee causes harm to someone else during their commute, the employer is not liable for any damages.

A more thorough explanation:

The going-and-coming rule is a principle that states that an employee's actions while commuting to or from work are generally not considered within the scope of their employment. This means that if an employee commits a tort (a wrongful act that causes harm) during their commute, their employer is not typically held responsible.

  • An employee is driving to work and causes a car accident. The victim of the accident cannot sue the employer for damages because the employee was not acting within the scope of their employment at the time of the accident.
  • An employee is walking to work and accidentally bumps into someone, causing them to fall and get injured. Again, the employer is not liable for the employee's actions because they were not acting within the scope of their employment.

These examples illustrate how the going-and-coming rule works. If an employee is not actively working or performing job duties, their actions are generally not considered within the scope of their employment. This means that the employer cannot be held responsible for any harm caused by the employee during their commute.

Jackfrost has a point though, a good way to stand out with your apps is to do as much "optional" stuff as possible, including the interview

Defining “postmodernism” is a daunting task. One commentator has likened it to “trying to nail gelatin to a wall.” Part of the difficulty is postmodernism’s heterogeneity. As Angela Harris has noted, “There are as many different definitions of postmodernism as there are postmodernists.”
