WARNING!!!! CRIMINAL HIRED!!!!

Consider this scenario.  Employer “X” contracts with a Fortune 500 company to perform “door to door cable sales”.  The Fortune 500 Company does have a contract with Employer “X” to insure that background screening is performed, but never checks the credibility of the background checks they’re supposedly running.

Employer “X” hires 2 Sales Reps to sell cable in residential neighbors, but conducts no criminal or background search prior to hiring.  Both Sales Reps gets into a verbal altercation with a customer of Employer “X”.  The verbal altercation leads to a physical altercation with the one of the Sales Reps beating up the customer. The other Sales Rep smashes a window and destroys the customer’s property.  The customer ends up in the hospital and suffers physical injuries.  After Employer “X” is sued by the customer, it comes to light that both Sales Reps have a criminal record for assault and battery including theft.  The customer also sues the Fortune 500 Company for failure to insure that Employer “X” has performed the necessary background checks for both Sales Reps. The news media gets involved and although they mention the name employer “X”, they have a field day blasting the fortune 500 company all over the internet and local news stations! Customers are now worried about opening their doors to a Cable Door to Door Sales Rep and the Fortune 500 companies sales drop 35% Nationwide!

Employer “X” is sued for, among other claims, ”negligent hiring”, but the Fortune 500 company has deeper pockets and thus winds up with a multi-million dollar law suit against them and a mountain of legal costs!

So, what exactly is negligent hiring?  This “negligent hiring” holds employers responsible to third parties who are injured by employees when the employer has failed to carefully select competent and safe employees.  

In essence, the claim is that Employer “X” and the Fortune 500 company were both obligated to their customer to insure that a thorough  criminal background check was performed.

READ THIS!

 The Tort Reform Act of 1999 provides employers with a defense to negligent hiring claims if they conduct effective pre-hiring background checks.  The statute, entitled “Employer Presumption Against Negligent Hiring” applies to negligent hiring claims against an employer based upon negligent acts taken by that employer’s employee. 

The statute creates a presumption that an employer exercised reasonable care in selecting an employee if the employer conducted a “background investigation” that “did not reveal any information that reasonably demonstrated the unsuitability of the prospective employee for the particular work to be performed for the employment in general.” 

This is why a Criminal Background Check is imperative to ANY employer, but more crucial for employers who hire employees that work in the Home Service Industry, especially if they enter a customer’s home.

To obtain the benefit of this presumption, the employer must:

1.   Conduct a criminal background investigation on the  prospective employee with a  reputable background screening company like Protection Plus Solutions.

2.   Make reasonable efforts to contact references and former employers of the prospective employee concerning the prospective employee’s suitability for employment.

3.   Require that the prospective employee complete a job application, which includes questions concerning whether the prospective employee has ever been convicted of a crime.

4.   obtain, with authorization from other prospective employee, a check of the driver’s license record (if relevant to the work to be performed); and 

5.   Interview the prospective employee.

Thus, all employers should conduct background checks that comply with requirement numbers 1-5 above.

Do you think it's necessary to run a background check on an already established employee?

The answer to this question is ABSOLUTELY!


Many companies typically do a yearly background check, but what happens if an employee gets into trouble after they’ve been hired? You’d never know until the following year that there was an issue. This could cause serious consequences for your company and your valued customers.


Protection Plus Solutions provides an array of background screening products that are tailored for the home service industry, but we take it to a whole new level. Once an employee has passed Protection Plus Solutions background screening requirements, they’re provided with a unique ID badge or virtual bade. This ID badge can be viewed by you or your customers 24/7 by logging into our website and entering the serial number from their badge.


The ID badge will display your approved logo; provide the customer with a picture of the employee, their date of birth, the date of the most recent background check, the physical location where they work, plus the phone number of that location and your corporate office information.


We place each of employees on our CrimSPY watch program that monitors them monthly for any sort of criminal activity. If for any reason the employee has an issue or has been arrested, the ID badge is immediately pulled and we notify your office and/or corporate that this employee has an issue. We also place a FAILED symbol by their ID badge on our website.


CrimSPY also provides important information for employers. If they quit or are released for any reason from one location and apply for a position with any of your other locations, you are alerted that this is duplication. Even if no criminal activity has occurred, this will allow the opportunity for your own internal investigation as to any possible work performance issues or other issues of concern at previous locations. We also track your employee’s social security numbers so that someone else cannot use it to work for from one location to the next. This has been an issue for many companies in certain US regions.


You may already be using a background screening company for your employee hiring, but Protection Plus Solutions can assure you that once you see our products and what they can do for your customers and your business you will want to change. Protection Plus Solutions is here to make all your hiring needs SAFE and SECURE!
