Did you know that many companies contract their work out to help make a bigger profit? Did you also know that many companies don’t run a thorough
background check on the contractors they work with?
With the minimal costs of running a background check, common sense would make you think that companies just wouldn’t want the liability or the worry that a contractor might hire employees that have a criminal record. Partnerships can be a viable relationship if they both hire competent employees that are crime free!
But, did you know that 90% of American companies neglect to run contractor screening and criminal checks on these partners. Sure some companies may run a background check on their workers but most of the companies never bother to actually check out the company owners themselves!
This means only one out of ten companies actually do their due diligence and run a proper background check. Contractors can be the root of growing a company, but if you don’t run a proper background screen on them they can also be the greatest risk factor your company will ever know. Companies need to understand that they cannot ignore that risk because it can carry a large monetary consequence and ruin their credibility in the industry they’ve worked so hard to develop.
Many contractors think that they know their employees. It’s used to be a “Good Old Boys Club” says Nathan Manos of “Manos’ Home Repair” I used to hire employees because they worked for someone I knew or they had a good resume. However, I can’t do that anymore if I want to grow my business. I have a reputation and have been in business for nearly 20 years. I recently ran background checks on all my employees and found that two of my guys had been in trouble. One in particular was still on probation. Although they didn’t hurt anyone, I still couldn’t take a chance that if they got depressed or upset that they might take it out on one of my customers. The risk, worry, and liability isn’t worth it, I had to let them go! Thank goodness I contacted Protection Plus Solutions. My employees are monitored every month and home owners can see their background check on line before they come to their house. It’s provided an overwhelming sense of credibility to my company and has increased my customer growth because of it. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Did you know that there is an overwhelming number of US court cases that have made companies accountable for not providing the proper background screening on their employees? A Superior Court case out of Alameda County, California, found a company negligent in not obtaining a background check on a man who had been recently paroled from prison with multiple robbery convictions, then brutally murdered a women in her home. The company was held liable and the jury awarded millions of dollars to the victims family.
ABC’s 20/20 says “The case showed that employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees, and the importance of a proper background check should be a wake-up call to all employers.
