No. Respondeat Superior is a legal doctrine that allows a business to be held responsible for the actions of the employee. But the employee is still liable. Example: I'm driving and get into a car crash with a Pepsi truck. If the truck driver caused the accident, he could be held liable to pay for my vehicle or medical expenses. However, if he was delivering Pepsi on the job, Pepsi may also be held liable. Both the driver and the company would be jointly liable.

Also known as "vicarious liability."Under the doctrine of agency (or master and servant), an employer may be liable for actions (or inactions) by employees, if the liability arises within the scope of the employment. It is imputed to the employer who has (presumably) given the employee certain powers in the employer's name.For example, a pizza-delivery company could be liable for a vehicle collision caused by an employee attempting to make a quicker delivery, but not for injuries caused by an employee who stops at a bar and gets into a fight (outside scope of employment).

Your employer is liable for ALL injuries that happen to employees "in the course and scope of employment". "In the course" means during the period you are clocked in and subject to the employer's direction. NOT before or after work or while away from the workplace at lunch. "In the scope" means while performing your assigned duties - not while fighting or stealing or picketing.
