Over the years, I have heard a familiar theme from clients who face lawsuits filed by former employees.  Many have expressed to me that the biggest mistake made was hiring the employee in the first place.  While this may be a true expression of a client's feelings, usually there are a lot of mistakes that were made during the tenure of the employee.  Nevertheless, I have looked at the hiring process in a number of cases.  I believe with greater focus, a business can increase the likelihood of success in hiring by being aware of certain mistakes.  Recently, my colleague Joe Neguse and I did a webinar for HospitalityLawyer.com.  An article summarizing that presentation, authored by Patrick Mayock from HotelNewsNow.com, can be found by following this link:  http://www.hotelnewsnow.com/Articles.aspx/5150/9-hotel-hiring-mistakes-and-how-to-avoid-them
