Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I was a office manager at a doctor's office for 3 1/2 years. The last year that I worked was financially tight to pay overhead bills. I notified the accountant (CPA) and the doctor of the situation. In January and once again in June. I finally quit because it was to emotionally straining. Am I liable for any of the doctors financial terribles, since I took instructions from him. And it his business?

No, unless the bills were in your name or you used the money for your own purposes.

Unless you were grossly negligent in the performance of your duties, you should have no liability for any losses suffered by your employer.
