Employment Complaint Investigations
Whenever an Employee makes a psychological or sexual harassment complaint against another Employee the situation requires immediate investigation. If the company does nothing, the complainant will pursue the company. If the company acts on the complaint, the Employee complained about will pursue the company. To the company the situation can seem like an unavoidable and no-win situation. Naturally, an Employer or an HR manager wants an internal complaint resolved as quickly and as discretely as possible.
At OLS, we offer professional investigative services for sexual and psychological harassment complaints and we team up with reliable financial professionals to investigate fraud or theft complaints.
In order to avoid an expensive lawsuit, when an employee files a complaint the best thing to do is to investigate it. Depending on the nature of the complaint, they can harm your reputation, damage your financial position and create hostile work environments. Complaints can also lead to expensive litigation. The best way to avoid all of that is to hire an outside expert to investigate the complaint. By hiring a third party to investigate, neither party can then accuse the employer of favoritism. Moreover, it ensures that there will be no lingering unpleasantness between the Employees investigated and the people responsible for the investigation.
