An employee who is following orders cannot be held liable for any criminal charges that result from that conduct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Employees can still be held liable for criminal charges if they were aware that the conduct they were ordered to do was illegal, or if they did the conduct with the intent of breaking the law. It is important for employees to use their own judgement and question orders that seem immoral, illegal, or dangerous.
