Default Successful Lawsuit...

Credit checks are the least of your worries... It sounds to me this fellow, if true, is more of a Private Investigator. And there are many of them, so don't count on a open marketplace in this business.

What you describe has been going on for years and years. Normally behind the "Curtain" though.

I've been involved in the Hiring and Firing of a few individuals and let me say the Fed's have their hands way in where it doesn't belong.

Don't you think when hiring for a Gov't position, certain laws, ethics and morals aren't violated??? But when it comes down to the average Joe hiring for his Mom & Pop operation his hands are effectively tied!

I know of one business owner who ran a MVR (Motor Vehicle Report) to be certain this individual was a safe driver for a driving position with the company.

The MVR came back horrendous! The individual wasn't hired. When the businessman was asked why... The individual was told it was because of his Driving Record.

Guess what??? This guy sued the business owner even though he voluntarily filled out the Job Application, including his Drivers License number.

Why did he win??? It wasn't disclosed on the Job Application, or to the applicant, the MVR would be checked. Nor did the applicant "Give Permission", to have his MVR checked! And this was for a Driving position!!! Sheesh!!!

Forunately for this this businessowner, he had enough Liabilty Insurance (and the right type) to pay for Defense costs and the judgement which was awarded to this applicant...

So for any of you hiring... This is what we tell our clients... Hand them a job application to take HOME and tell them to fill it out and bring it back with an Current MVR.

Don't even discuss job openings or availabilties with them! Most of you can not fathom the risks associated with Hiring and Firing employees anymore.

Last year we paid out over a couple hundred thousand dollars in Employee/Employer altercations and claims. Including Harassmnet, Workplace Hostility, Employee Benefit Errors. Most of them could have been avoided by having a set Problem Solving Procedure in place! :::hint::: :::hint:::

Just another reason, or many, to become a self-employed Marketer.

Success and Regards... Mike
