The leather coat of a guest was stolen from the guest’s hotel room by a new maintenance employee who had a criminal record that included two convictions for theft and burglary. The hotel failed to inquire about or investigate the employee’s criminal past. What liability does the hotel have in this circumstance?

The correct answer is letter "C": the hotel will be fully liable for the loss.

Explanation:

In this case, the hotel is liable due to negligence. Employers are responsible for carrying out selection processes that ensure the individuals they will hire will not cause any harm to the business or its customers. Therefore, if an employee had criminal records but the hotel was not able to find that out by requesting the employee a Police Clearance Certificate, if the employee commits an assault the hotel will be liable for those actions.
