Avtorici predstavljata odškodninsko odgovornost delodajalca za okužbo s COVID-19 na delovnem mestu. Pri tem poudarjata zlasti vprašanja, ali in pod katerimi pogoji se vzpostavi odškodninska odgovornost delodajalca, kakšna je pravna narava te odgovornosti (objektivna, krivdna odgovornost), kdaj delo zaradi večjega tveganja izpostavljenosti okužbi s COVID-19 pomeni nevarno dejavnost, ali in kdaj ima delavec pravico odkloniti delo, kako in pod katerimi pogoji se delodajalec odgovornosti razbremeni ter kaj je pravno priznana škoda, povzroče- na z okužbo, in kako jo povrniti. Avtorici svoja stališča prikazujeta glede na veljavno ureditev slovenskega pravnega reda, analiza pa vključuje tudi povezavo z dosedanjo sodno prakso slo- venskih sodišč in Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice.

The authors present employer‘s liability for COVID-19 infection in the workplace. In particular they raise question of whether and under what conditions is the employer liable, what is the legal nature of this liability (strict, culpable liability), under which circumstances will the work classify as dangerous activity (due to the higher risk of exposure to COVID-19 infection). The authors also discuss, when has the worker right to refuse work, how and under what conditions is the employer discharged of liability and after all, what is the legally recognized damage caused by the COVID-19 infection, and how to reimburse it. The authors present their views through the prism of the current regulation of the Slovenian legal order, and the analysis, which also includes the current case law of Slovenian courts and the European Court of Human Rights.
