responsibility of authenticating your employment
applications and resumes.

Can You Afford Not to?
|
| Failure to perform pre-employment screening could
destroy everything a business owner or manager has
worked hard to build. Background checks are a
must in today's business climate. It is your
company's responsibility to know the employee.
Employee fraud and theft can weaken or destroy a
business. An employee with a history of
violence, drug, or alcohol abuse could cause
irreparable damage to a company's reputation.
Based on the doctrine of "Negligent Hiring",
employers may face liability issues. The company
may be liable for damages if the court determines that
the employer "knew or should have known" negative
facts of an employee's background that should have
disqualified that employee from having the job.
For example, an employee with a bad driving record
should not be hired as a delivery person and an
employee with a sexual assault conviction should not
be sent into a customer's home.
It is the employer's responsibility
to know the employee.

Really Say They Are?

There are many stories
of fraudulent resumes. A few famous stories are
listed here:
|
- Notre Dame football coach George O'Leary
resigned after it was revealed that he falsified
information about his education and playing career.
- Janet Cooke, from the Washington Post, was hired
with fake educational credentials. She won a
Pulitzer Prize in 1981 for a story that was untrue.
She resigned and the Washington Post returned the
prize.
- Kenneth Lonchar, CFO of Veritas Software
Corporation, was fired for stating on his resume
that he had a master's degree from Stanford
University when, in reality, he did not even have an
MBA.

Pre-Employment Screening Is A
Necessary Research Tool
|

public under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Save Time, Trouble, and Money
|
| While most employees
are productive people contributing to a company's
success, pre-employment screening is meant to keep out
the occasional problem worker who may have a negative
incidents in his or her past history. In the long
run, it is less expensive to do a background check
than deal with the disruptions to the work place,
liability issues, the potential financial loss that
may result from hiring the wrong person.
Many employers hurry through the hiring process
because they need someone in a position. But,
hiring without the proper pre-employment screening
could result in serious problems that cost more time,
trouble and money. |
