Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Implied authority refers to the actions that are reasonably necessary to carry out the implied or express duties and responsibilities of the position. While calling someone to repair the copy machine (A), hiring a maid to clean the office (B), and ordering donuts for breakfast (D) are all reasonably necessary actions that a secretary may take to carry out her duties, purchasing new computers for the entire office (C) goes beyond the scope of her implied authority. This action may require a higher level of approval or authorization from the employer or someone higher up in the organization.
