A telecommunicator's agency assumes all liability if a telecommunicator violates a law or statute.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. N/A
• D. Unknown

Answer: (B)

Liability in this area isn’t automatic or all-encompassing for the agency. An employer isn’t automatically responsible for every illegal act a telecommunicator commits. The telecommunicator can be personally liable for their own unlawful actions, while the agency may be liable in certain situations—such as if negligence in training, supervision, or policies contributed to the violation. Respondeat superior can create employer liability for actions within the scope of employment, but it doesn’t negate the employee’s potential liability or apply universally to all violations. So the statement is false.
