The only evidence that the employer is OK with directions not being followed is a lack of punishment. So your argument reduces to "since the employee hasn't been punished for not doing their job they shouldn't be punished".
If the employer punished the employee, and demonstrated that they did in fact want that procedure followed, you'd be fine with that then?
Worth noting that not fighting something doesn't mean you're ok with it. Eg stores direct their employees to not confront shoplifters, but thay doesn't mean they condone it. Similarly, the resources it would take to monitor nationally dispersed employees for time-theft might outweigh the savings (since most people are ethical and will do their job without being followed around), but that doesn't mean they condone time theft.
