Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negligence in hiring refers to the failure of an employer to exercise reasonable care when hiring employees who may pose a foreseeable risk of harm to others. If an employer ignores warning signs or fails to conduct proper background checks and hires an employee who goes on to commit a tort against a customer, the employer could be held liable for negligence in hiring. The other answer choices are not commonly used legal terms in this context.
