WORKPLACE INVESTIGATIONS
Once an employer has notice of potentially harassing conduct, it is responsible for taking reasonable corrective action to prevent the conduct from continuing. This includes conducting a prompt and adequate investigation and taking appropriate action based on the findings of that investigation.
John A. Swarbrick Law provides thorough and timely external workplace investigations into allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Drawing on our extensive experience of employee misconduct and investigation processes, John A. Swarbrick Law will review all relevant documentation, conduct interviews, and provide a thorough and impartial investigation report that meets the employer's duty to conduct a prompt and adequate investigation that recognizes and respects the rights of all parties to the investigation.
Based on an unbiased and objective analysis of all the evidence, the investigator will determine, on a preponderance of the evidence standard, whether or not the allegations are substantiated and whether or not the conduct at issue constitutes a breach of Employer policy.
