There are many reasons to conduct a workplace investigation. If you suspect an employee of misconduct, or allegations of misconduct have been made against an employee, an investigation may help resolve personnel issues and reduce future employer liability. Workplace conflicts among employees and generalized work environment issues are also good reasons to consider an investigation. If you are uncertain as to whether an investigation might be the best choice, please reach out to Employers Council, we are more than happy to help.
Although handling an investigation internally is one option, it may present some challenges. If one party is at the manager or executive level, or if the organization is small, handling the investigation internally may lead to claims of bias or conflict of interest down the road. Additionally, handling investigations requires training and takes considerable time to do well, which may not be where you want to direct your organizational resources. All Employers Council investigators are attorneys trained in investigation technique, strategy, and analysis. Using Employers Council to conduct your investigation ensures that you have a trained, neutral investigator and a well-drafted, thorough report to support any subsequent decisions.
Employers Council investigations are billed on an hourly rate, rather than a flat fee. Investigations come in many shapes and sizes, and often, the complexity and number of parties involved is not known at the outset. To get a better idea of scope, contact our Investigations team.
An Employers Council investigation will include all interviews, including summary statements drafted by the investigator and approved by the individual parties and witnesses, and a comprehensive investigative report. The report will include all evidence, a detailed analysis of each allegation, and factual conclusions that are based on a preponderance of the evidence standard.
As the investigative report contains factual conclusions only, you may want legal advice as to next steps when the investigation is concluded. If you are an Employers Council member, our Employment Law Services division can assist you in interpreting the investigation results and determining the best way to address the findings.
