Casual Articles - Beware of Negligent Entrustment when Employees Change Departments
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act was passed on July 2002 and many public companies in the US have been implementing compliance procedures since then.Unlike other business standards, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires a more detailed disclosure in its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on everything that might affect a company’s business and financial performance.The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that public companies use well established "disclosure controls and procedures" for all intellectual property (IP) assets so this vital information is first presented to the management of that company well before it’s reveal
Employers must carry out pre-employment screening to ensure that their is nothing in a prospective employee’s past to indicate that they could cause injury to other employees, or in any way put othesr at risk while carrying out the duties of their employment. If Robert has applied for a job as a cashier and records have indicated that he has twice been found guilty of careless driving, this would not normally prevent him from carrying out the cashier’s job, and there would be no reason t
“Let me give you my card,” should be a staple in your networking conversations. If you have just started your own business and you do not have business cards, then you need to place it toward the top of your list. Business cards are a relatively inexpensive way to advertise your business effectively.The cost of business cards can range from relatively inexpensive to high priced, but no matter what price range your business can afford, they are an essential. When you are networking with people it may be easy to tell them all about your business, and they may be very excited to work with you. However, most people have terrible memo
The second is that in the case of negligent hiring, the provision of a dangerous instrument need not be provided to the employee carrying out the injury. If that instrument is provided by an employer, then the employer could be guilty of both negligent hiring and negligent entrustment.
Negligent entrustment applies in tort law where the entrustor negligently supplies the entrustee with an instrument, and the entrustee then causes injury to a third party with that instrument. It commonly occurs where motor vehicles are provided to unqualified drivers or to drivers who have been guilty of a previous motoring offence that the provider of the vehicle could reasonable be expected to be aware of.
For example, if an employer hires a cab driver who had been previously convicted of dangerous driving, then provides him with a cab, the employers will be guilty of both negligent hiring and negligent entrustment if the driver collides with a pedestrian, causing injury. It could have been reasonable expected that the conviction would have been uncovered if a criminal or driving record search had been made, and the employer is therefore guilty of negligent hiring. Since it was the employer who provided the cab, negligent entrustment is also relevant. Had the driver provided his own cab then negligent entrustment would not have been involved.
Cases of negligent entrustment normally involve employer negligence. While employment need not be a factor, it is difficult to prove that the first party had a duty to carry out background checks on the second party prior to providing them with the instrumentality. If Andy lends his chain saw to Thomas to cut down a tree in his back yard, and Thomas uses it to injure someone else in an argument, it would have be proved that Andy knew that Thomas was violent, or had a reason to carry out a criminal check on Thomas. It is unreasonable for people to carry out criminal reacord screening on neighbors before lending them tools.

Attendance Recording System allows the companies to manage, monitor and produce reports of employee’s attendance. This system fits easily into the business structure and gives you greater control over your staff. It is mainly used by companies which have more than hundreds or thousands of employees. They are used in areas such as healthcare, financial services, transportation or distribution, retail management, government, manufacturing, and hospitality. Attendance recording system provides an accurate means of recording employee entries, exits breaks, absence and leaves. This can be compiled to produce the total hours worked and the amount

Most marketing strategies are about being in motion. Have a plan, be proactive, and take the necessary action steps. Although being proactive is a necessary aspect of marketing, an often overlooked and yet equally important part is your company’s internal perception.Many companies put a lot of effort into all the external aspects of what they do, yet completely overlook what is happening due to internal perception. Internal perception includes your thoughts and beliefs; the internal dialogues and thought processes you have regarding your business, your industry and your customers/clients. Often, we may not be aware of hidden thought

Imagine tossing a pebble into a crystal clear pond on a still day, & watching the ripples make their way to the shore. A tiny cause has a massive effect.But on a windswept stormy day? You could hurl the largest boulder into the same pool, and the effect would be felt for no more than a few feet.So it is with marketing new ideas.Your prospects are in a trance that is like a still pool of awareness. They are in an “I’m worried about money” trance. They are in an “I wish I could finally find that somebody special” trance. They are in an “I’m sick of my dead end job” trance, & so on.If you enter that trance with your

So many business consultants often say that they are tired of being right all the time and wish that their clients or business associates would listen. They get upset and admit that millions of dollars were wasted because they just did not listen. One top-notched consultant from PA mentioned this to me not long ago. Indeed, as a semi-retired consultant, I must agree with her.I also caution myself and others not to always blame the client, even though it is their fault for not listening. I remind myself that I am the mentor or consultant here, my duty was to convince the client or boss of the need for a coach, plan or adding of a team

If Robert has applied for a job as a cashier and records have indicated that he has twice been found guilty of careless driving, this would not normally prevent him from carrying out the cashier’s job, and there would be no reason to assume that he could cause harm to others in the finance department office since no driving was required.
However, if the same Robert then transferred to the delivery department and crashed the vehicle he had been provided with, causing enjury to others, the employers would be guilty of both negligent hiring and negligent entrustment, since the knew about the driving convictions. This would be true even if the actual individual responsible for the initial screening and interveiw was no longer employed by the company. A check of the employees records would have revealed the necessary information.
This is where some companies fall down in their employment screening procedure. Everybody knows good old Robert. He is a great cashier and does a fantastic job. However, he needs the extra money he will get from the overtime available with the driver’s job so let’s give it to him. He was a good cashier, never in trouble and always on time, so there’s no reason for him not to trransfer. Nobody thinks of checking up his original pre-employment screening records. The company is still legally liable and good old Robert could just have cost them a few million dollars with the double offence.
As an employer it is important that you display that you have taken resonable care in carrying out the employment checks required to ensure that there is no reason for you to believe that the job applicant couble be liable to cause injury to anyone else while working for you, or could reasonable be expected to use any instrument provided as part of the employment to cause injury. This applies equally to employees transferring from one department to another, where different instrumentality is involved, as to completely new employees. Negligent entrustment only applied when you provide the instrument that causes the damage.
If you want to avoid this happening to you, you should treat all applications for a job in the same way. It should not matter if an employee is transferring from one department to another. Different jobs might need different types of screening. The requirement for a clean driving licsnse might be important in one job but not in another. Always treat transfe
