The salary equation implies that your efforts related to your field regardless of when they are executed are done on behalf of and as an agent of your employer.  Keep in mind, you're the only one talking about an all-reaching relationship.  Specific to the point, we're talking about people being creative in a way that is similar to what their employer does.  Nothing else.2. Your employer is liable for your safety at any employer-sanctioned place of work, that includes all of their formal offices and any sanctioned work-at-home office.  This is why any company with a formal work at home policy requires pictures of your home office to approve the request.  It helps with their taxes but also covers their liability.The employer is not responsible for your well-being when you are not in those places, but it's assumed you will not being doing efforts related to your field when you're not in one of those places.  That's where the non-compete comes in, to fill the gaps.However, since most salaried employees are also on employer sponsored medical, dental, accidental death and life coverage.. the argument you pose is largely covered.  They do take responsibility for you within the scope of what you do for them.One of the reasons why a corporation is not responsible for an employee's random criminal and social acts that have nothing to do with them (in terms of liability) is due to the corporation's status as a legal individual on its own terms.  (one of the emergent properties of the 13th amendment to the Constitution of the United States).  Other countries have largely followed the United States' lead in regards to corporate law.</blockquote>
