Staff Handbook - Work-related Social Events Policy

Updated: Dec 18, 2022


The Work-Related Social Events Policy serves to remind employees of the standards of conduct that are expected of them by their employers and that the manner in which they conduct themselves at work-related social events may have serious repercussions.


Because a work-related social event, such as a Christmas party, is functionally equivalent to an extension of the workplace, an employer is quite likely to be held vicariously accountable for the activities of its staff members at such events.


If an employer can demonstrate that they took such steps to prevent an employee from committing the act as were "reasonably practicable," then they will have a defence against a claim of vicarious responsibility brought against them by an employee.


Employers could benefit from having a Work-Related Social Events Policy if they want to address this concern.



与工作有关的社交活动政策的作用是提醒雇员雇主对他们的行为标准的期望,以及他们在与工作有关的社交活动中的行为方式可能产生严重的影响。


由于与工作有关的社交活动,如圣诞聚会,在职能上相当于工作场所的延伸,雇主很可能被要求对其雇员在此类活动中的活动承担替代责任。


如果雇主能证明他们采取了 "合理可行 "的措施来防止雇员的行为,那么他们就能在雇员对他们提出的替代责任的索赔中获得辩护。


如果雇主想解决这个问题,他们可以从制定与工作有关的社会活动政策中获益。
