Employers conduct investigations for two main reasons: to prove just cause for termination or to meet legal duties under Harassment and OHS legislation. However, too often, these inquiries fail to meet the legal “gold standard.”
A legally sound investigation must adhere to procedural fairness, be impartial, and rely on a truly neutral investigator. In our experience, investigations are frequently compromised by internal pressures, leading to expediency over thoroughness or, worse, a predetermined outcome designed to cover the employer’s legal bases. When an employer cuts corners, they risk converting their attempted defense into a legal liability. A failure to conduct a rigorous investigation means:
If an investigation is found to be biased or negligent, it undermines the employer’s entire case — whether they were trying to prove cause or defend a harassment complaint. We specialize in scrutinizing the investigative process, exposing procedural flaws and systemic biases to defend your rights and secure your full entitlements.
Employers often trust an investigation to protect them — but a rushed or one-sided process usually does the opposite. Once we show it was biased or incomplete, cause collapses and harassment liability follows.
our services
Workplace challenges can be difficult to navigate alone. Our firm is committed to helping employees understand their rights and find the right path forward.
We scrutinize the investigative process end to end — who conducted it, how allegations were tested, and whether you had a genuine opportunity to respond — measuring it against the legal gold standard of procedural fairness, impartiality, and neutrality.
Where the investigation falls short, we use those flaws to challenge a for-cause termination, defend against unproven allegations, or advance a harassment claim your employer failed to properly address.
