Liability of the Employee for Damage Caused to the Employer Article 107 of the Labor Act regulates the liability of an employee who intentionally or due to gross negligence causes damage to the employer. According to this article, the employee is obliged to compensate the damage caused to the employer. If the damage is caused by multiple employees, each employee is responsible for the portion of damage they have caused, as prescribed in Article 107(2) of the Labor Act. In cases where the exact amount of damage caused by each employee cannot be determined, it is presumed that all employees share equal responsibility and are required to divide the liability for the damage equally, as stipulated in Article 107(3) of the Labor Act. Lastly, if multiple employees have caused the damage through an intentional criminal act, all employees are jointly liable for the damage, in accordance with Article 107(4) of the Labor Act.
