Should employers be liable under vicarious liability if empolee is getting ready to go home?
Vicarious lIability is not applicable when employee is acting in his or her own right, rather than undertaking the employer's business.
Right?
It depends. There is precedence for distinguishing between merely taking a detour while carrying out their work duties and taking a frolic where the employee is not acting towards performing any work duties. Detours result in employer liability while frolics do not.
Without any information on the actual tort or what you mean by getting ready to go home I can't say much more.
Try that question again honey, but this time understand what you want to ask, and use spell check. That question made NO sense at all.
Answers:
It could be argued that the process of 'going home' is an essential part of the day's work, similarly 'arriving at work' is an essential part of the day's work.
It all depends on what the employee was doing at the time. If he or she was just putting on/taking off clothing then the employer would probably be liable if he or she tripped on a poor piece of flooring and fell into someone else who sustained a serious injury. However if the employee was larking around then I'm sorry but the answer is 'No'

what more can i say?
Fix your grammar,spelling and composition before posting questions
the company is liable for anything that happens during the course of your duty and when authorised to be on the premesis. The fact you might not be getting paid when getting ready to leave does not exhonerate them of liability to you health, safety and welfare as you are still legally on their premesis
getting ready to go home from work?
Binky i think you are using words above your spelling ability but to answer your question//if they are on the employers property legally then he is responsible for their well being until they leave within a reasonable time of ceasing working hours
