Material liability of employee

Employee is obliged to compensate employer for direct actual harm (damage to property, etc.) caused to employer. Employee's material liability shall be excluded if such harm was the result of force majeure, action under emergency or necessary defense. Employee bears full material responsibility in the following cases:

• failure to ensure safety of property entrusted under an agreement on full material liability
• deliberate harm
• harm caused in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication
• harm caused as a result of criminal offense affirmed by a court
• disclosure of trade secrets

The list of categories of workers with whom agreements on full material liability can be concluded must be determined in agreement by employer and employees' representative body (labor union).
