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.
