Negligent
Hiring:
Those
two words have been devastating to many businesses — and they could cost you
millions of dollars. Negligent hiring is the failure to check the backgrounds of job
applicants before you hire them.
When a pizza deliveryman
raped a customer, a jury awarded the victim $6 million of the parent company's money.
The firm had failed to do a background check which might have disclosed the man's
previous sex-offense record.
A trucking company was
ordered to compensate a family when several family members were injured in an accident
caused by one of its drivers. The amount awarded was many times what it would have
been had the company checked the driver's record before hiring him.
Every day people with
criminal records, falsified educational credentials, and other serious liabilities
are hired by companies who fail to thoroughly check their backgrounds. The result
can be acts leading to expensive negligent hiring lawsuits.
Knowing the backgrounds
of the people you hire is absolutely essential because a business can be held liable
for accidents and crimes committed by its employees. To protect your company and minimize
risk, get reliable background information about everyone you consider for employment.
Employee
Background Check minimizes these problems with its services. You can verify
the accuracy and/or completeness of information provided by job applicants —
before hiring and training -- and thus reduce the costs incurred by high turnover
and reduce your risk of liability.
