Employee Background Check -- Know who you are hiring!
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.
