Conducting a workplace investigation or even getting the ball rolling can be a daunting task for business owners and their staff, particularly when doing it for the first time. This seminar is intended to provide you with the basics so that you have the confidence to gather the information and then brief your lawyer in a way that is cost effective and ensures that you can act quickly. Acting quickly is important not just because it ensures you afford all concerned with procedural fairness, but also to minimise the cost to your business, if staff must be suspended and paid while the investigation is on foot.
The topics we will cover in this session include:
- Procedural fairness – what does it really mean and why
- Receiving the allegations – how to extract the information in the right way
- How to identify the issue and make a start gathering information
- Working with your HR team (if you have one)
- Working out whether you need to suspend, who to suspend and how that is done
- How to contain the gossip – what directions should you be giving staff
- How to work out if you have a conflict and what to do about it.
- Do you need to call your lawyer – if so when
- What your lawyer does once he or she receives the information
- Providing the documents to support the allegations
- What does your lawyer want from you – working with your lawyer once you have handed over
- Delivering the outcome
- Getting back to business
This seminar is free for all clients of Bradbrook Lawyers with a current open file (of any kind) and is $55 inclusive of GST for any other attendees.
Morning Tea will be provided
