Best Answer

If the employee built the item under the direction of the employer, using the employer's plans or specifications, the employer will be responsible. If the employee did not follow the directions of the employer, particularly if it strayed from the standards of a normal build, then the employee could be held responsible.

Can an employer hire new help if he has an employee on unemployment?

If the employee is on unemployment then that employee is no longer employed and therefore the duty of the employer to the ex employee no longer exists. It will therefore depend on the laws of your country and perhaps on any trade union agreements weather the employer can hire new help to do the same job as someone who was recently made redundant (rather then rehiring the redundant worker), but the employer could certainly hire new help for a different job requiring different skills.
