Overview:
Discrimination, harassment, theft, substance abuse, sabotage and misconduct are a few reasons why employers conduct internal investigations. Depending on the nature of the event, sometimes a simple investigation is all that is needed. At other times, a formal investigation is required. In any event, how the investigation is handled can make the difference between a fair outcome and a lawsuit.
