Why Are Workplace Investigations Conducted?

In most cases, Ohio employers conduct workplace investigations after a dispute has arisen or there have been allegations of misconduct. The issue can involve everything from problems between an employee and a manager to a more systematic issue regarding the company’s policies or operations.

A comprehensive workplace investigation may be initiated primarily for fact-finding purposes or as a precautionary measure. Alternatively, an employer may benefit from an immediate investigation into allegations of serious malfeasance. Some of the most common issues that are reviewed in workplace investigations in Columbus are as follows:

• Sexual harassment claims;
• Allegations of unlawful workplace hostility and bullying;
• Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, and disability;
• FMLA cases;
• Allegations of a hostile work environment;
• Wage and hour disputes;
• Whistleblower claims and retaliation;
• Disputes between employees and management;
• Claims of workplace violence or an unsafe work environment.
