In a 2026 courtroom, "we didn't know" is not a defense. "We screened" is.
For Florida employers, Statute 768.096 is your most important legal shield. It provides the "Presumption of Non-Negligence," meaning if an employee commits a harmful act, you are legally protected, if you performed proper due diligence before hiring.
To lock in this "Statutory Shield," your screening must include:
✅ Multi-state Criminal Records (not just a local search).
✅ Employment Verifications (actually talking to past employers).
✅ Professional Reference Checks(verifying character).
✅ MVR Checks (for anyone behind a wheel).
At Monocle Risk Services, we don't just "run a report." We provide the human-verified documentation you need to turn a background check into a solid legal defense.
Don't let a "quick search" leave you vulnerable in 2026.
