Best Answer

Liability falls first to the employer. However, employees who cost an employer money could be held liable if the employer files a claim in civil lawsuit or in small claims court.

For example:

A man is hired to work on a job install tiling in a bathroom. Though a sub-contractor, the man cuts the tiles wrongly, applies too little adhesive so some fall down, and in frustration the man smashes half the tiles. This costs the main contractor $3,000 in time, supplies, and salaries. Though he fires the man immediately, the contractor also sues the sub-contractor for the losses. As well, the homeowner files a claim against the main contractor, so as a result the main contractor in turn can sue the sub-contractors.
