Recently, the Gallagher Risk Management Services Claims
Department has seen an increase in allegations relating to a
facility's negligent hiring, training, and supervision of its
employees. Claims relating to the hiring, training, and
supervision of employees are often tied to incidents where an
employee of a facility has been accused of abuse / neglect of a
resident and terminated. While there is no requirement to
perform intermittent background checks, running a background check
once a year for every employee could potentially reduce the
likelihood that a facility may be susceptible to a claim of
negligent hiring, training, and supervision. Bullet Screening
Services provides comprehensive employment screening services.
Through a partnership with Bullet Screening Services, ALTC's
clients are able to purchase discounted special employment
screening packages, including a $7.00 per employee charge for a
background check. The investment of performing an annual
background check on each employee would be an investment in quality
control for residents and possibly reduce the significance of a
claim for negligent hiring, training, and supervision. You can
