Rights as a driver: What to do in case of damage to a company car?


Questioner

I am employed part-time by a company as a driver. With the company car, during working hours, I smashed the rear window of the car on the premises of the entrepreneur. I could not do anything about the accident myself because I had to park on the premises and could not see a protruding pole. Without my consent, the costs of repairing it are now being deducted from my salary. What should I do?

Lawyer

First of all, it is important whether there is anything in the employment contract or any applicable collective labor agreement. Is there nothing? Then the employer can only claim damages if there is intent or conscious recklessness. When I read your story, that does not really seem to be the case.
