Legal analysis: it is unreasonable for employees to compensate for expired goods in supermarkets. If there are expired products on the shelves, it is the employee's dereliction of duty. Supermarkets can be handled according to relevant disciplinary regulations. However, employees cannot be required to compensate for expired products. Especially temporary products, employees cannot be required to pay compensation. It is illegal for supermarkets to handle this way. The enterprise is not perfect in the relevant safety system, so it is responsible for itself. The expiration of goods is the risk of the enterprise and cannot be passed on to the workers. In short, employees have absolutely no obligation to compensate for expired food.
