Make sure you are in compliance when it comes to employee investigations.
When an employer learns of allegations of misconduct, it should take prompt corrective action that is reasonably calculated to end the misconduct. If an employer is to avoid liability for hostile environment sexual harassment, it is obligated to take prompt and effective remedial action whenever it knows or should know of such conduct. Some state laws go even farther. This white paper reviews why employer’s investigation under the law of most states need not be perfect nor must it even reach the correct factual result and discusses is an investigation can be a defense to a lawsuit.
