The Best Defense to Employment Law Claims: Good Investigations
Please join us for a discussion on one of the most complex human resources topics: conducting investigations. One method to help clarify rights and obligations when workplace problems are encountered is to conduct a fact-based investigation in such a way to allow you to make sound employment decisions and to mitigate legal risks. Starting with this premise, this webinar will cover the who, what, where, when, why and how of workplace investigations, including who should conduct the investigation, what information should be considered, when investigations must be conducted, where these investigations should take place, why conducting a proper and thorough investigation is important, and how to make sure your documents don’t become the employee’s exhibits in a legal claim, by effectively documenting the investigations and related results.
Additional topics will include:
- How to draft witness statements so they do not become a plaintiff’s exhibit in a legal claim
- How much of an investigation should be shared when fighting an unemployment claim
- When to use an independent investigator
- Requests for confidentiality
- Where should investigation results be filed
- What does the EEOC say about investigations
- How to train internal resources on investigating reports of improper treatment
- What, if any, warnings must be given to employees involved in an investigation
- What right, if any, do employees have to refuse to participate in an investigation
