Negligent Hiring and Negligent Retention lawsuits are
increasing each year across the country and can have a
disastrous impact on your company's reputation and bottom
line.
Employers have a duty to prevent crime and protect the public from the "foreseeable"
acts of an employee and may be liable for facts that
"should have been known" about an employee's
character or job-related experience.
Employers should verify any information solicited on
a job application to determine an applicant's suitability
for employment. In other words, if a company inquires
about previous criminal convictions, educational achievement
or a specific type of job-related experience, the company
has an obligation to verify that the information provided
by the applicant is true.
