performance of duties: Every clerk is given instructions before they start performing their duties. (Is the set of things every employee does called 'performance of duties¨? Doesn't the sentence sound too stilted? Maybe 'job duties' would be a better choice?

acquire ownership - isn't it too formal?

Thank you!
