frolic

frolic (frol-ik), n. Torts. An employee’s significant deviation from the employer’s business for personal reasons. • A frolic is outside the scope of employment, and thus the employer is not vicariously liable for the employee’s actions. Cf. DETOUR. [Cases: Master and Servant 302(6).C.J.S. Employer–Employee Relationship §§ 221–222.]
