What is Negligent Hiring and Retention Liability?

Negligent hiring and retention normally refers to an employer’s obligation not to hire an applicant, or retain an employee, that they knew or should have known was likely to undertake conduct against other individuals, or otherwise subject employees or third parties, e.g., customers, to actions which can create legal liability. Employers can be held liable for willful misconduct by their employees.  Through negligent hiring and retention lawsuits, many employers have been found responsible for their employees’ actions, even when the employee is not working at the time of the crime. Negligent hiring and retention lawsuits have cost companies many millions of dollars in damages, forcing some companies into bankruptcy.  Good employee screening can help protect you and your company from liability should a lawsuit be filed against you or your company.
