It is estimated that two in five companies don’t conduct proper background checks and in some cases, none at all. As a result, negligent hiring suits are on the rise. These are suits filed after employees have committed harmful acts, alleging that employers didn’t diligently research their workers’ backgrounds before hiring them. On average, employers are losing these suits 72 percent of the time.
There are numerous cases of companies who didn’t do a background check on their employees prior to hiring them, only to pay a much higher cost later on. For example, a large corporation hired a delivery person without doing a background check. He went into a home and attacked a customer with a knife. The company was sued for $2.5 million for negligently hiring and retaining the delivery man. The average settlement is approximately $1.6 million, according to Public Personnel Management. So, can you afford to do background screening check? or a better question would be, can you afford not to?
