According to Nonprofit Risk Management Center (n.d.), “negligent hiring will allege that if the employer had engaged in more due diligence when screening the worker, a history of similar conduct would have been revealed which should have disqualified the worker from consideration”. With this being said, my current employer was guilty of negligent hiring, however there was never a claim alleging it. Several years before I began working for my current employer, they allowed an individual to complete his court ordered community service hours at the center where we provided services to consumers with developmental disabilities. I was informed that the community service hours was court ordered due to the individual obtaining a DUI. After completion
I have then since worked my way up to Customer Loyalty as a Representative and have more recently been working towards a leadership position in the Customer Loyalty Department. I enjoy my job so much and I absolutely love what I do. We are in the business of saving lives and there is nothing more fulfilling then knowing I am able to help people and give them a sense of comfort every day. I put a lot of energy and spirit into my work and when I am not at work I have been participating in a Drug and Alcohol abuse program. Taking group and one-on-one counseling sessions as recommended from a Substance Abuse Evaluation. When I am not participating in the sessions I would surround myself with good friends and family. We spend quality time by going to the movies or going the park with my little brother to play football with him. I do greatly regret the decisions I made on that night but at the same time I and grateful for them. I feel as if the night I was cited with those charges it was a moment of realization. It made me truthfully see what I was doing to myself, my family and everyone else around me. It did hurt me gratefully to know what I was doing to them and see
employer might be liable for the discriminatory activities of an employee and employers may also be liable if
It is somewhat surprising that employers continue to violate employment laws dealing with discrimination. One case, Catterson v. Marymount Manhattan College, litigated and settled in 2013, was especially egregious. According to the EEOC (2013), the college had refused,
There are many employment laws out there but ill discuss about three of them and what are the consequences if the company did not comply. The employment laws I will discuss are the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964, Americans with Disabilities Act 1990, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. My next topic would be how an organization might structure their policies, practices and culture to ensure compliance.

According to the definition by the Florida Appellate court, “Negligent retention occurs when, during the course of employment, the employer becomes aware or should have become aware of problems with an employee that indicated his unfitness, and the employer fails to take further action such as investigating, discharge, or reassignment” (McAdams, 2007, pg. 458). Since the record contained evidence of a number of episodes during Landins employment after imprisonment where Honeywell should have become aware if not already aware and have taken action, this is why the court allowed for the negligent retention issue to go to trial.
On January 22, 2009, I pled guilty to a Class B misdemeanor DUI charge in Logan, Utah. The offense occurred in November of 2008. On the day of the offense, I had consumed alcohol after work with some friends but felt safe to drive. I was an inexperienced drinker and used poor judgment. When I was pulled over my blood alcohol content was below the legal limit, but I was still cited with a DUI. At first I felt like the victim of injustice but soon realized I was actually the victim of my own poor judgment. I accepted the consequences, pled guilty, and made the decision to never find myself in questionable circumstances again. I was fined and sentenced to two days in jail, one year probation, and required to complete an alcohol treatment course.
On this day he should have completed his mandatory 25 hours of community service and paid a fine. He had not done that however. He was called on and he reported that he had only done 5 hours. He was trying to explain why he hadn’t done his hours but his english was broken and he wasn’t making any sense. His girlfriend then took it upon herself to stand up and explain for him. He had just gotten out of prison and needed to get a driver’s license to volunteer. Because his residence was in California, but he was volunteering in Nevada where his girlfriend and new baby were; he needed a license in both states. That was what led to the late start, he had only had both licenses for a week. In that week he did 5 hour of volunteering. Although Judge Sullivan had notes saying it was his last chance, she had a different judge step in for her that day. The girlfriend was arguing that the previous judge had not warned it was his last chance, just that he needed some hours. Judge Sullivan erred on the side of caution since it wasn’t her personal notes and gave the defendant three more months to work off his fines through volunteering along with his mandated
Appellee violates the federal fair labor standard acts by designating an employee as a “manager” who is entitled to overtime pay when that employee’s primary job responsibilities do not require supervising other employees or exercising independent judgment, but do require day to day maintenance activities as well as retail sales.
A bad hire for your company not only jeprodizes your company but it could put your employees at risk of getting hurt. A lot of business avoid doing a background check because it cost them money. They rely on the individuals resume and check the persons refrences. And out of personel experience I have never had one of my refrences called. Companys risk everything when they avoid doing a background check. A background check would show past employment and reasons for not still working at there previous job. It would also detect if they have a criminal background. Just doing this one small thing could make a huge difference on whether or not your company succeds.
Neil Rekun was killed while riding a motorcycle as he was hit by Carl Pelaez. According to Judge Raup, Rekun was 60% negligent and Pelaez was 40% negligent. “Under Pennsylvania’s Comparative Negligence Act, a plaintiff cannot recover if he or she is more than 50% negligent” (238). In the arbitrary agreement between the two parties, they use the term “comparative fault” which did not include a bar on recovery if a plaintiff was more than 50%
