Lawsuits for negligent hiring are one of the fastest growing areas of employment litigation. Conducting due diligence on new hires is critical. Just one bad hire can lead to litigation, fraud, embezzlement, workplace violence and a host of other problems.

This series of four webinars offers HR professionals and employers of all sizes cost-effective and legally compliant techniques to avoid hiring applicants that are potentially dangerous, unfit, unqualified or dishonest. Review federal and state laws that control the background check process, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and unique, only-in-California rules.

When just one bad hire can result in a legal and financial nightmare, take steps to implement a legally compliant program and to hire the best employees.
