The question

What is the ruling on a health inspector's dereliction of duty in the following cases: due to the negligence of those he supervises, or his shyness towards the work and people's ridicule, or the unavailability of funds, or fear of problems, or his belief that he is negligent due to his lack of experience and dishonesty to his manager, or his disobedience to the manager in matters he deems wrong due to the manager's lack of experience or leniency? And what is the ruling on a person signing documents in the name of another person who is not present?

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.
