But investigations can easily go wrong, too – fast. Poorly planned or conducted, investigations can exacerbate the initial grievance or expose employers to additional liability as employees in the investigation believe they were wrongfully discharged or became the object of retaliation. The use of social media in the workplace has greatly complicated investigations, providing fertile sources of information but also substantial risks for additional liability. This program will provide you with a practical guide to employment investigations in the workplace, including sources of employer liability and how to reduce those risks. \n \n·         Effective employment law investigations and avoiding employer liability \n·         When and what to investigate and how – essential steps to get the right information without increasing an employer’s litigation risk\n·         Social media issues – monitoring, invasions of privacy, workplace policies and wrongful use\n·         Statutory and common law sources of legal liability for employers conducting investigations\n·         Good faith requirement in investigations and affirmative defenses to employee claims of wrongful termination\n·         Relationship of investigations, harassment and retaliatory discharge claims\n \n\n \n \nAbout the Speaker\n  \nJames P.
