Benefits of Alcohol Seller Training
Texas Law
Effective Sep 1, 2000: Anyone who sells, serves or delivers alcoholic beverages including persons who immediately manage, direct, supervise or control the sale or service of alcoholic beverages must be TABC Certified in order for the business to continue to receive "Safe Harbor" from fines and penalties related to employees actions. See Chap. 50-TABC for more info.
Protection From Fines
Section 106.14 of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code says that in the case of: "…sales, service, dispensing or deliver of an alcoholic beverage to an intoxicated person or a minor, action of an employee shall not be attributable to the employer if:"
1. The employer requires its employees to attend an approved seller-training program
2. The employee has actually attended and passed an approved program
3. The employer has not directly or indirectly encouraged the employee to violate such law
Lawsuit Liability
Over the past thirteen years a growing number of alcohol liability lawsuits in Texas that have been settled both in and out of court have included attempts to collect damages from alcohol licensees for everything from auto accidents, personal injury, property damage, pregnancy, STD's, rape and fights. Your best defense is to ensure all of your employees are TABC Certified within 30 days of employment.
