The answer

The governing principle that regulates work and obligates an employee is what the work regulations and system stipulate. The employee must inquire from their employer about responsibilities, what is considered negligence, what they are permitted to do, what they are not permitted to do, and whether they are allowed to sign on behalf of others or not. If the employee does what they are permitted to do and strives diligently, they are not considered negligent. However, if they exceed what they are permitted to do and do not adhere to the work system, this is considered negligence and dereliction on their part.
