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.
