If an employee or agent was authorized by the employer or principal to speak about a matter, the statement of the employee or the agent can count as the statement of the employer or the principal and thus may amount to a vicarious admission that is exempt from the prohibition against hearsay; i.e., statements of "speaking agents" can be vicarious admissions that are exempt from the hearsay rule -- if the other requirements applicable to this type of vicarious admission are satisfied.
