Employee Background Screening:
It is critical to consider Verification of Employment/Income as a crucial piece of the lending puzzle in mitigating the threat of fraudulent information.
Thoroughly understanding an employee’s background provides not only possible indications of future performance, but also an added layer of protection for the employer. Current judicial precedent sides against employers facing negligent hiring suits due to an employee’s action against a third party. A 2001 report by Public Personnel Management found employers have lost over 79% of negligent hiring cases.
Additionally, many recent industry studies place the average settlement for a negligent hiring lawsuit at nearly $1 million.
Employment applications frequently contain false or distorted data, which can result in hiring the wrong person for the job – or more damaging, a potential security risk.
Industry statistics overwhelmingly support this potential threat:
- 27% of loans originated in 2016 contain employment/income that is inflated or fabricated in the loans where FNMA has performed a post-closing review. (Source: FNMA June 2017 Misrepresentation Data)
- It’s estimated $994 billion was lost by U.S. Corporations due to occupational fraud in 2008. (Source: Association of Certified Fraud Examiners)
- Thirty percent of small business failure is attributed to employee theft. (Source: US Chamber of Commerce)
- Statistics on applicants embellishing their work histories, “…estimates range from 40% to 70%.” (Source: Society for Human Resource Management)
- Some income and assets can be verified through automated services. The other 70 percent of verifications must be handled manually, which adds time, expense and hassle to your operations.
