1. Why Workplace Investigations
Are Necessary?
Your Rights During a
Workplace Investigation
Confidentiality
Cooperation
Retaliation
Workplace investigations are necessary to
ensure all employees are treated fairly and
respectfully.
You also have the right to provide information and
evidence relevant to the investigation.
Additionally, you have the right to be free from
retaliation for participating in an investigation.
It's also important to understand that while
investigators will do their best to maintain
confidentiality, they may need to disclose certain
information to conduct a thorough investigation.
This includes answering questions truthfully and
providing any relevant information or evidence.
Refusing to cooperate can result in disciplinary action
and make it more difficult for the investigator to
determine the facts of the case.
This includes any adverse actions, such as termination,
demotion, or harassment. If you believe you have been
retaliated against for participating in an investigation,
you should report it immediately to the investigator or
HR department.
