Background Checks for Managers
Did you know that probably more than half of the resumes you receive may
contain exaggerated or fraudulent information and/or significant omissions.
Embezzlement costs commerce about $4 Billion dollars a year.
Over 30% of all business failures are the result of negligent hiring
practices.
Of the negligent hiring cases that go to trial, 66% result in jury awards
averaging more than $600,000.
The Small Business Administration reports that for every dollar an employer
invests in personnel screening, they save between five to sixteen dollars
in reduced absenteeism, productivity, turnover, safety, insurance, and in
employer liability.
Employers can be held liable for workers who commit crimes while on the job,
especially if they have a previous criminal record that the employer never
bothered to investigate. The Texas Supreme Court recently held the Kirby
Co. liable for failing to investigate the background of an employee that
raped a woman while conducting an in-home vacuum demonstration. The court
of Texas felt that the Kirby Co. was negligent by not conducting a background
check on independent contracts that they send into peoples' homes. The court
up held $160,000 in damages.
Before proceeding on conducting employee background checks, please consult
with an attorney or your Attorney General's office regarding privacy laws
and background check procedures.
