§ 34-02-08. Employee shall obey instructions of employer - Exceptions

An employee shall comply substantially with all of the directions of the employee's employer concerning the service upon which the employee is engaged except: 1. When such compliance is impossible or unlawful; 2. When such compliance would impose new and unreasonable burdens upon the employee; or 3. In case of an emergency which, according to the best information which the employee can obtain, was not contemplated by the employer, in which the employer cannot be consulted with the use of reasonable diligence, and in which the employee, in good faith and with the exercise of reasonable discretion, judges noncompliance with the employer's instructions to be absolutely necessary for the protection of the employer's interests. In any case arising under subsection 1, 2, or 3, the employee shall conform as nearly as is reasonably practicable to the directions of the employer.
