Investigation Guidelines – Download Our Checklist

With the recent large award in Smith v RSA and the rise in employment injunctions it is clear that employers need to pay close attention to their investigation procedures whether it is a grievance, bullying or disciplinary matter. A higher burden for fair procedures will exist in a process that has the potential to result in an employee’s dismissal but all procedures can come under scrutiny. Depending on the size of your organisation it is wise to give those who may be appointed as investigators specific training on how best to run an investigation process. Policies and guidelines should be regularly reviewed to ensure they deal with issues that have arisen on the ground. To assist investigators the Employment Team at Ogier Leman have prepared a checklist that should be reviewed both at the outset of and throughout an investigation procedure.
