A quick definition of negligent hiring:

Term: Negligent Hiring

Definition: Negligent hiring is when an employer doesn't take enough care when choosing an employee. They might hire someone who is not suitable for the job, and this could put other people in danger. This is because the employer should have known that the employee was not fit for the job, but they hired them anyway.

A more thorough explanation:

NEGLIGENT HIRING

When an employer fails to exercise reasonable care in selecting an employee who is unfit for the job, and as a result, another person is harmed.

Example 1: A company hires a driver without checking their driving record, and the driver causes an accident while on the job. The company could be held liable for negligent hiring.

Example 2: A school hires a teacher without conducting a background check, and it is later discovered that the teacher has a history of child abuse. The school could be held liable for negligent hiring if the teacher harms a student.

Negligent hiring occurs when an employer fails to take reasonable steps to ensure that an employee is fit for the job. This can include conducting background checks, verifying qualifications, and checking references. The examples illustrate how negligent hiring can lead to harm to others. In both cases, the employer failed to take reasonable steps to ensure that the employee was fit for the job, and as a result, someone else was harmed.
