Cases against employers are on the rise. It is estimated that three out of five firms will be sued by an employee. Companies are finding that they are vulnerable from the pre-hiring process through the exit interview, even if the employee was never hired, or only at the company a matter of days. It can happen to ANY firm. We have all experienced it. It could be a joke told in the break room, an employee you had to fire, a “friendly” programmer, or that person you chose not to hire. Every employer faces the reality that it will be the target of legal action from past, present and prospective employees. Even if the claim is groundless or fraudulent, the defense of a suit can be expensive in time, resources and financially. New technology firms are especially vulnerable. Newer and fast growing companies are often prey to these types of claims because their management team has not yet designed or implemented procedures for hiring, firing, and disciplining employees. Welcome to reality. Just because you might not have told the off-color joke to the new employee on her first day, your Independent Contractor, or client, might not think the same way. It's still your firm that gets sued, and you can't always monitor every hire, termination, or conversation that takes place in your office. Nor can you always know who will sue, and you can't always prevent a disgruntled employee from lying or exaggerating just to “get even” with your firm. |
