Avoid Liability

Failure to protect other employees and residents from accidents and crime can result in costly lawsuits. Most states have adopted "negligent hiring" statutes that hold employers accountable for information they should have known about their employees. The courts have sent a clear message, handed down in many decisions and appellate opinions: An employer has the duty to protect its employees, customers and others who come in contact with their organization.

The duty rests with the expectation that an employer should be able to come to a reasonable conclusion that certain individuals may not be suited in some environments. One of the few ways to defend negligent hiring lawsuits is to exercise due diligence prior to every hiring decision.


Know Who You Are Hiring

According to the Small Business Administration (SBA) “for every dollar invested in personnel screening, employers save hundreds of dollars in reduced absenteeism, productivity, turnover, safety, insurance, and employer liability.” Over 30% of employment applications contain misrepresentations of credentials or fail to disclose important information.
As professionals entrusted with the responsibility of selecting new employees for your company, it is important to select the best applicants available. Quality screening should include a thorough review of all materials furnished by the applicant with a focus on consistency and truth in details.
Always conduct a criminal background check. It is not uncommon for employers to be sued for an employee’s illegal acts. Compare your findings to the application in order to determinea candidate’s honesty.
Tests for the use of illicit drugs also have a definite place in the pre-hire process. Many studies have linked drug use in the workplace to higher than average losses and higher risk of litigation against the employer.
Remember, past performance is indicative of future behavior.
