Failure to Indemnify
If an employer fails to indemnify an employee, the employee has the right to file a claim or lawsuit against the employer. In such cases, the employee may be entitled to recover the full amount of the expenses incurred, as well as any other damages resulting from the employer’s failure to indemnify, such as attorney’s fees and court costs. It is important to note that failure to indemnify is not limited to reimbursing expenses. Employers must also indemnify employees for any losses or damages that result from the employee’s work-related activities, such as legal judgments against the employee, fines or penalties imposed on the employee by a government agency, or damages caused to a third party while the employee is performing work-related duties.
