Learn more about workplace investigations

Steps in workplace investigations

There are essentially six basic steps involved in many workplace investigations, which can assist in providing a procedurally fair process:

  1. Deciding whether to investigate
  2. Planning the investigation
  3. Gathering evidence
  4. Allowing an opportunity to respond
  5. Considering the evidence
  6. Delivering findings and recommendations

Employee rights in investigations

Employees facing workplace investigations often have a number of rights or are owed a number of obligations by their employer, including:

  • Procedural fairness
  • Confidentiality rights
  • Legal or union representation
  • Privilege against self-incrimination
  • Reasonable accommodations
  • Work health and safety rights

Responding to workplace investigations

If you need to respond to a workplace investigation, there are six steps that can help you to do so effectively:

  1. Review relevant laws and policies
  2. Gather supporting evidence
  3. Identify what you accept or reject
  4. Consider your rights and options
  5. Get advice from a lawyer
  6. Respond calmly and purposefully

Unfair workplace investigations

It is not uncommon for people to have misgivings about the fairness of a workplace investigation they may be subject to, yet still ‘hope for the best’. It is an understandable though potentially misguided view. Failing to make a timely objection to something may be taken into account as being the product of disappointment with the process only in the aftermath.

Generally, though not always, the longer a process goes on the harder it is to seek alterations to it. For that reason, anybody who holds concerns about the fairness of an investigation ought to seek advice from an experienced workplace investigation lawyer at the earliest opportunity.
