Duty to Follow Instructions is the obligation of an individual to comply with orders and directives given by an employer or other person in authority. This duty is usually part of an employment agreement or contract between the employer and employee, and may be legally binding. There are three types of Duty to Follow Instructions: 1. Positive Duty — This is the obligation to take affirmative action and comply with instructions. It is the responsibility of the employee to take the initiative to follow instructions. 2. Negative Duty — This is the obligation to refrain from certain activities and not take any action which would be contrary to the instructions given. 3. Neutral Duty — This is the obligation to perform a task without taking a position on the instruction, for example, to act as a messenger and deliver instructions without taking any action to oppose or endorse them. It is important to note that Duty to Follow Instructions is not the same as obedience or following orders without question. Employees are expected to exercise their own independent judgement when following instructions. If an employee believes that a particular instruction is unlawful or unethical, they are not obliged to follow it.
