Summary
No employer is immune from a lawsuit resulting from negligent hiring practices and employee misconduct. If an employer hires someone and fails to use “reasonable care” to verify their fitness for duty, the employer can be held liable. If an employee injures a co-worker or customer, the employer can be sued for damages. Thirteen people die each week as a result of violence in the workplace, according to a recent study by a leading Human Resources publication; more than 16,000 threats are made at work every workday.
