Background Check
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.
