The Rise of Negligent Hiring Lawsuits

The effects of proper vetting through Background Checks will help to protect your business from negligent hiring. Thorough investigation, especially the examination of criminal records is key to preventing negligent hiring. In addition, background checks provide other intangible effects such as higher employee morale and preservation of company branding.

A primary objective of background checks is to prevent a bad hiring decision, i.e., an employee with attributes that can damage the workplace through poor job performance or criminal proceedings.

Detecting unfit employees through background checks can help prevent litigation. If an employer does not exercise proper due diligence, the employer can be sued for negligent hiring. If the employer does not end, discipline or adequately supervise an employee’s behavior after learning that the person is dangerous or unfit, the company can be sued for negligent retention.

By running background checks on candidates through The Screening Source, LLC., employers exercise due diligence in protecting their employees from workplace violence, theft, fraud and other crimes.

Along with the obvious benefits of background checks there are some intangible benefits such as upholding the credibility of the company, improved employee morale and corporate branding.
