Are executives and employees of private corporations protected from liablity?

No. I co-own a private company and we have to hold several million dollars in liability insurance for that reason.

it would depend on how many employees you have. what your payroll is. and whether or not you have ever had any claims. it is different in each case.

"D&O offers individual directors and officers the protection they need from personal liability and financial loss arising out of wrongful acts committed or allegedly committed in their capacity as corporate officers and/or directors by transferring this risk to the insurance market. D&O covers have gradually broadened over the years, but a combination of rising claims numbers, a doubling of average settlement cost per claim, and increased shareholder activism has radically changed that market. Not only are premiums increasing, but layers of cover are being stripped away, leaving many directors unknowingly exposed to greater personal risk than ever before."

For protection from liability.  If a professional does not incorporate or form a partnership, their personal property is subject to creditors and other judgements.  Corporations and partnerships protect the personal assets of the professionsl.

There is a point of law which states that "you knew or should have known".  For instance, as a CFO, you have the legal obligation to know if a financial statement is fraudulent, even if you didn't prepare it.  Under the SOX act of 2002, you can be jailed for signing a financial statement if is is false, even if you didn't know it was false.  This puts the burden on the CFO to  actually do his or her job.\n\nThe same goes for HR executives.  If someone is being harassed, they are responsible for taking action.  If they don't, they can be personally sanctioned.

Based on the information you have given, no. An employer can terminate most employees for almost any reason or for no reason at all (there are exceptions, of course.) But generally speaking, if a company violates its own written policies regarding disciplinary action, it can be held liable by the employee for wronful termination.

Yes. You are protected under Federal Law. You must be able to prove the employer gave information other than date of employment and job type.

Actually they really can not do much of anything. A Personnel Manager told me once, that really all he can do is verify a person worked for the company. If, they were to say anything bad, the Dictatorship allows the person to sue the company. Now, with that said, we can assume there a Company Code/Understanding in the business world, that what said behind closed doors stays there. IF, you see what I say.

Employee and public liabilty insurance is a requirement for the occupier of any business premises. It is there to ensure she can meet her liabilities if an accident occurs. Not alot of people know that occupiers of all premises are liable if someone is injured on their property, even residential owners. The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (I think that's the year) makes it impossible for an occupier of business premises to attempt to exclude or limit their liability for injury sustained on the premises. Whereas an owner of residential premises can do so i.e by placing a warning sign Saying for example THE OCCUPIER ACCEPTS NO LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY WHILE ON THE PREMISES. There are alot of technical points to note with this; particularly in relation to children, however, so be careful and always seek proper advice.\n\nAs an employer she also suffers from something called 'vicarious liability'. This basically means that she is liable for the acts of her employees while they are performing duties assosciated with their work. i.e say someone comes into the hairdressers who is a celebrity (david beckham for arguments sake) a trainee junior gets asked to dye his hair for him and he has an allergic reaction to the dye causing his head to swell to the point where he can no longer see, hence stopping him from playing football. As the employer she is jointly liable for any claim that david, or real madrid, may make. This is reasoned by the simple and logical point that the employer sees the sole benefit of the employees work and so should bear the burden of the responsibility for that work.\n\nAs far as I personally am aware one is only legally required to take out public liability insurance under U.K law although it has been several years since I completed my legal studies on this particular subject and I may be mistaken!! It is always advisable to take out the employees insurance though; as I have already stated the owner of the business is vicariously liable for the acts of the employee and she would be the first person any decent lawyer came after as 1- she is likely to be insured 2- she is likely to have more money than the actual offender in the event of no insurance. Depending on the type of business this is(sole trader, partnership, limited company) may mean that she could, potentially, lose her house and everything else of value in the event of a claim without it.\n\nHope that helps.

The crimes will still be on record to protect corporations from hiring bad people. Just that you can't be arrested or be guilty for all previous crimes. For any new crimes you commit, you are not protected by the amnesty.

Corporations are legal individuals in the eyes of the law.  With few exceptions (ie, the right to privacy) they should and do have the same rights as regular people under the constitution

No, if someone sexually discriminates their employees(fires on the basis of sex, creates hostile work environment for females, etc etc) it does not matter what type if organization they are -- they broke the law and will pay.

Yes.  Several ways, like liens for taxes or other government services, or judgement liens from lawsuits, or a Lis Pendens from plaintiffs suing the owner for something.
