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.
