A word for "negligence of duty or responsibility"

I need to know a word which means:

"negligence shown by a person in performing a duty, or a responsibility, or any given task."

or,

"A person who is negligent in performing their duties/responsibilities."

One possible choice is the use of word "delinquent". Is there any other word?

Please provide the usage of suggested word in a sentence also.
