Employment Law
Since the 1980s there has been a tremendous jump in the filing and winning of negligent hiring lawsuits. Negligent hiring is the legal concept where an employer is legally liable for the acts of an employee who is dangerous to other people (including the general public) when the employer should have known this information by researching that employee's resume references and employment history through background screening.
Identity Theft
While background screening services are becoming more and more popular in the business world, errors are becoming more and more common. In the most recent headlines, would-be employees are often shocked to find that they couldn't get the job they wanted because of a long list of criminal activity that was mistakenly attributed to them.
Background Checks
Recently in the news there's been much noise made about the dangers of background checks. Stories of the wrongly accused are surfacing right and left, the most famous being a 19-year old girl who didn't get a cashier's position because of a mythical “rap sheet” that turned up felonies and misdemeanors. It took 6 weeks to clear her name.
Pre Employment Background Screening
Pre employment background screening could serve to control and perhaps even reverse the rising number of workplace accidents and deaths on the road. However, in order to achieve this, drug testing and a DMV driving records search should be included alongside traditional criminal background checks to keep dangerous individuals from getting behind the wheel.
OSHA Regulations
OSHA regulations have become a hot topic of discussion since Thomas Industrial Coatings was penalized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to the tune of $2.4 million dollars. This sum was the result of an investigation of 3 deaths in 5 months, all Thomas Industrial employees who lost their lives earlier this year.
