Holding the manager responsible for debtors unsettled accounts

Q: Person A runs a business for person B. There are some customers who buy on credit. Person A gets a straight monthly salary only. 2 customers haven't paid for 4 months now, so person A was asked to leave, and person A had to pay person B, the owner, the value not paid by the 2 customers. 

Is this correct? Please explain

A: The manager is not responsible for the debtor.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
