Ignoring pre-employment background screening could be costly

At a time when businesses are looking for the most effective ways of cutting costs and protecting themselves for the future, many are forgetting one of the simplest and most productive way of doing this – pre-employment background screening. While it comes at a price, this cost will be more than worth it. Or to put it a different way – cutting a corner here could come at a large cost later. This later cost? Liable damages. For example, you hire an individual without performing a background check. It turns out that, unbeknown to you, this individual has a history of violence. A few weeks later, the new employee acts violently towards a co-worker and injures them. Your organization is now liable to be sued for damages. Rob Mosely, a partner of trucking company Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP, cleverly claimed “If you choose not to use PSP (pre-employment screening program), you’re making a huge mistake. Because the PSP is available to you, and everything that’s available to you today will be available to the lawyer who sues you”. Before you start worrying about costs and the time-consuming nature of these checks, have a look at MYBINC – a pre-employment investigative company that give you great value for money while providing you with information in a timely and effective manner. Get those background checks started now, and save yourself from problems in the future.]]>
